Works of literature reimagined as tweets. I wasn't that impressed with the book, but I was impressed that two college freshmen could come up with this idea, write the book, and sell it to Penguin Books. Go U of C kids.

Also, I laughed when I noticed that the publisher has categorized this book as "Non-Classics."

From Ender's Game: "At times I feel inadequate but then realize I'm doing pretty well for an eight-year-old with a murder in my past and an army at my command."

From Watchmen: "Must break into a military facility and visit Doctor Manhattan. I hate seeing him, he's always waving his big blue dong around."

From Frankenstein: "I often think of the craziest thing I could get away with using my MD."

From A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man: "I'm glad this whole narrative thing is coming so naturally, and didn't take a decade of work and drink and poverty."

The book was a fun, quick read. I have seen the concept executed better though. There have been a few twitter projects that asked "tweeters" to sum up entire classics in just one 140 character tweet, and other projects asking "tweeters" to build a story by responding to other tweets.
