Reviews
I try to be a good citizen on Amazon and do reviews of the products I buy (and I buy a lot of stuff from Amazon!), but rarely do I do book reviews--I just figure that's a personal thing. We love books (or not like them as much), for personal reasons that are often not quantifiable. But this is a bit different, this is not a book per say, but a manual. The purpose of the manual was to enable computer dummies (like me), or those less intuitive with technology, to be able to do semi-creative things at least, with the phenomenal tool that is iMovie. I will be writing to the authors of this book as well, but I consider this book to be a gift. A magic box of a book. Even I have been able to follow the easily, meticulously outlined steps/lessons, included in each chapter of the book and make videos/"movies" of my own. The first one was of my mom baking bread, and I know that what I produced, as insignificant as it may be in the scheme of things, is something I will treasure forever. This book also made me feel really good about my computer skills: made me feel like, given good and precise instruction, I too can conquer my tech fears. I know I have just begun to scratch the surface, and really look forward to what my next "movie" will look like. My sincerest GRATITUDE to the authors for the gift of this book, and the creative adventure they have made possible for me.
