Opinion:
A Million Views is a great book, once you take the book in your hands, it's hard to put down. I enjoyed several things about this book. First, this book has a detailed description of video and filmmaking. I loved the way the author presented Brewster and his friends'; hard work, dedication, and devotion to making the movie trailer look real. We all can relate to 12 year old kids, learning new things, and figuring out emotions. This story actually reminded me of when I was 12 years old, figuring out my emotions and how to react to certain things. Overall, this book presents us with a picture of this age, children's creativity at its peak, and the difficulties faced in implementing it. I enjoyed reading A Million Views, and I recommend this book to people of all ages. Be prepared though because depending on your age and online experience, every reader will have a different perspective on the story and its interesting outcome.
