You guys,

After watching this 1st part (of a 10-part series), do you think that I should keep calling these videos by the name of "Book Review"? For instance, my understanding is that a book review is PRIMARILY evaluative of the book (with a quote here or there). And, while my favorable impression shows up in my tone, quips, and antics -- I didn't quite come out and say: "Yeah!" or "Nay!" about the book (actually, about this 1st chapter of it).

And what do you think about me salvaging the term "book review" with an evaluative wrap-up at the end of the series (an 11th video) after I do these chapter-by-chapter walk-through's? Would that fix the problem? IS there even a problem to fix?

I know, I know -- I'm sounding anxious here, aren't I? But you need to realize 2 things:

1) This is my first-ever book review -- i.e., I'm still "green."
2) The whole world [...wide web] is watching ... they're out there ... sitting in silent judgment of me ... thinking of how they could have done this video so much better than I did ... and, because they didn't exercise that where-with-all; they're jealous, they're envious, and they outright loathe me ... etc., etc. [insert more paranoid statements here]

;-)

p.s. And I'm NOT being a second-hander here; I'm simply seeking opinions from those I respect! I mean, sheesh! YOU don't think of ME as a SECOND-HANDER ... do you? Oh my god, you do ... don't you? On SECOND thought -- please, please, please ... don't answer that!
[note: It's 6am and I've been up all night long -- can you tell??]

;-)

You can take the man out of the classroom, but you can't take the classroom out of the man.   ;)
