There is no better way to start this blog than with a book written by a person so beloved by the internet's world.
Connor Franta is an American young man recognized for his work on Youtube, where he publishes videos - including vlogs, a kind of blog but in audiovisual format - on his own channel. Currently he has more than 4.8 millions subscribers on his channel and his videos have been watched over 260 million times - and the numbers just keep on growing.
At the age of 22, and after spending over a year working on it, Connor released his first book entitled A Work In Progress, in which he presents his life behind the camera, or even before there was a camera.
I can say that the book surpassed all the expectations that I had. This is a well constructed and singular autobiography, where Connor not only reports events and milestones in his life, but also explains how these have affected and changed his views and perceptions. He also gives his opinion about various subjects, and shows how it has changed and grown over the years.
What left me more bewildered - positively, of course - is how easily you can relate to this book. And despite the fact that in many occasions he refers to problems linked to the interned and his generation - which are not necessarily associated with other generations - Connor can always somehow write in a way where all his readers would understand what he says. This is something very difficult to do, but he did it very well.
If you are a Connor's fan and you already read the book, leave your opinion in the comments.
If you didn't know him, nor his work, I will leave some links at the end of this post where you can access all the information about him, and also where you can get the book.
I hope you found this interesting and useful, and I will see you soon with another book. Bye xx.
