The whole book is set up as a series of Q & As between Grenier, himself, and 39 other bloggers. One of the downsides to the book is the fashion these templates play out. The questions are repeated in the same order each and every time. Readers who have to read every word may find this approach tedious, but I used the questions as place holders and skimmed them to figure out which answer I was about to read. That layout makes the book and much faster read, and I was able to get to the information I really wanted.
This is one of those books that serious bloggers will keep on their shelves. I know it’s staying on my shelf. I took notes as I read through the book, jotting down what I felt was pertinent information and also blogs that I intended to check out. I was surprised at how much was there, and I was also surprised to find out how disparate the blogs can be.
As an adjunct professor in the professional writing program at the University of Oklahoma, I’m surprised at how many of my new graduates are getting job interviews and being asked if they blog. Corporate America is beginning to realize how valuable writers are and how many different ways writers can be employed to enhance limpid web sites and create new reasons for people to visit those sites.
The real dream, though, is to create an independent web site that will eventually attract millions of readers and generate an income that will allow the entrepreneur to become his or her own boss. Stephane Grenier’s book is compact, easy to read, and filled with information. It’s written in a style for laymen, yet has enough information to attract an experienced practitioner. And it may be the book that moves bloggers up to their greatest successes.

Rick and Bobo is an action adventure book. I believe the focus is YA.
The lead characters are two brothers, Rick and Ray (Bobo). After coming into a great deal of money the duo quickly become bored, and begin a funny and adventurous journey into the world of superheroes. Move over Spiderman, Batman and the Fantastic Four; there are new superheroes in town!
Thank you
