Humanize Book Review The presentation that was on Thursday was a little boring by my opinion. The authors didn’t catch me with anything that you don’t just read on the internet or any new information or ideas that might be “new” and “innovative”. I’ve been in the Business program in Northeastern for 3 years now and have been to the book presentations every year. I thought that this year’s book and presentation‚ where it had the right idea of social media‚ was not catchy enough. Last year they

[pic] The book Once was written in the first person which means the narrator was talking about himself (I). I think it was important that the story was written in the first person‚ because if it had been written in the third person (she/he) it would have been a different story.
