Goodreads Summary
I will admit to being on Facebook and I can see the value in this book! So many of us are constantly checking Facebook during times when we shouldn't be such as work or in the middle of the night. A lot of us are very concerned with how many likes a status gets, but are not so concerned with what neighbors think of us. It's an interesting concept. I liked how the author used humor to subtly point out how ridiculous we are with our social media addictions. It's something that we all know instinctively, but rarely recognize.
The illustrations were fun, but not hilarious. I liked how the author suggested a Facebook detox. I think that's something we could all use, but would have a hard time sticking too. I find that when I finally make an interesting friend that I am not on Facebook as much; I guess it's time to go out and actually talk to people!
