Endtablebookreview of How to Start a Revolution
What an insight. I want to lead with how beneficial a book like this is for teens, young adults and probably 20 and 30 somethings. Knowledge is Power. What this book aims at more than anything really is arming people, youth particularly with information on how they can affect* political change (*someone check my usage of affect over effect, please?)
I have enjoyed following Lauren on social media and was not even aware until some point a few weeks ago she was writing a book. Well, she was nice enough to get one to me and I am so happy to share it and tell you to go buy it TODAY! It is out and available. Reading this makes me want to write or inspire someone to write something for kids even younger. It seems like that is the best place to start? But obviously as unbiased and face based as possible. I am sure some kids out there are definitely getting ear fulls of political one sidedness no matter red or blue. But damn... I have an 11 year old nephew that could benefit from this knowledge. This book might just be a bit over his head. Anyway... loved reading this.
