Paris is for Horses

In the “summer reading” vein, I have two book reviews for you that aren’t about business or marketing or the like. I like The Crimes of Paris, by the Hooblers, and also The Horse Boy by Isaacson. One is a true story of the theft of the Mona Lisa. The other is about a family’s quest to find a connection to their autistic boy. I wouldn’t have read The Horse Boy if it weren’t for Zena Weist. I find the best books come from trusted friends. (Whitney Hoffman has the same taste as me in reading.)

By the way, if you like THE HORSE BOY, you can follow @theHorseBoy on Twitter. He’s a great communicator.

    I'm glad you liked The Horse Boy and thanks for the shout-out, friend! I love Isaacson's writing style – how the story reads like a novel though it's non-fiction – and thought it might be one you could sink into and enjoy.

    And to pair Isaacson's review with Hoobler's, very nice. I was looking for a non-work book for an upcoming trip, sounds like The Crimes of Paris will be it!

    Thanks for the suggestions! So much of our time is spent online, it's great to read a book every once in awhile. I've gotten a few great ideas from books and movies- and sometimes the strangest comments or ideas will lead to a great campaign.

    “The Horse Boy” book was a beautifully written portrait of one family's pain, and quest for a cure for their autistic son. I have an autistic grandson, and I'm reading everything I can on the subject. I encourage everyone with an autistic child in the family, to read this story about hope, faith, and love.
