Puts a brand new complexion on books and not judging people by appearance
From watching the thug notes I had a distinct feeling this guy's got a thorough knowledge on overall books and literature in general, and when I got thug notes book and read the intro, I was spot on. Raised both on the streets and in the libraries, this guy spent hours reading all these books and appreciates general world literature, and it gives me a fresh understanding and appreciation of books in general. He not only inspired me to look at books in a different way, but he's the perfect example of not judging a book by its cover and is such an inspiration. Everyone has something unique that reaches them on a personal level, Sparkhy Sweets happened to be that for me. If you want to read more but have difficulty understanding or keeping focus, this book is a brilliant start to get you going!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
