The freshest book reviews from an avid bibliophile.

Amazing Adventures of a Nobody by Leon Logothetis
I liked Logothetis’s message, and I appreciate an inspirational tale of finding oneself. But I think I was a bit skeptical of this whole journey; Logothetis does not entirely explain how he came to have his own television show, or why it was necessary for him to have a tv crew follow him around on this soul-searching expedition. I wondered how many of these interactions and acts of kindness would have happened had a tv crew not been present, or had Logothetis not had an English accent (I know, the pessimist in me chose a bad time to come out). It just felt bit weird.

Also, this felt more of a personal chronicle that was too difficult for me to take as something I could adapt to my own life. Goodness help me, Eat, Pray, Love might have made making life-changing experiences a bit more accessible.
I admire Logothetis and am without a doubt that his heart is in the right place, but this book didn’t inspire me the way I thought it would.
