by Mark Oppenheimer As a mother of a smart, articulate boy who was named "The Most Out of the Box" by his gifted program teacher in seventh grade, I found Wisenheimer a fascinating read. For the first time I was given full access into the inquisitive mind of a smart boy who, like mine and also to his mother's dismay, couldn't stop arguing.Seeing it in perspective, it makes perfect sense that the boy, Mark, would thrive as a member of the debate team and that by using his need to use big words in such an environment would find himself free to adapt better to every other aspect of life and enhance his relationship with his peers. The
author is an excellent writer and although it is a memoir (a coming
of age story, as the author tell us in the video available at Amazon.com),
the book reads like fiction and also succeeds as a non-fiction book.
For instance, it explains the different types of debate competitions
and the debate circuit with vivid images and examples that makes
it easy to understand. |
