Book Review: 'Bereolaesque'

After reading an online review of a new book entitled 'Bereolaesque: The Contemporary Gentleman & Etiquette Book for the Urban Sophisticate' I knew that I had to read it for myself. For quite some time I have been saying that the presence of the 'gentleman' has been on a steady decline. Someone needs to speak to this generation of young men that have no idea how to behave themselves in the corporate or social worlds.

And just when I thought this downward spiral would continue, here comes this book. While waiting for my book to be shipped to me I began following the author, Enitan O. Bereola II, on twitter, (@bereolaesque). The little tidbits that this man was sharing was exactly what I think ever young man, and woman, should hear. That was another thing that I loved... his tips are not just for gentlemen, but for ladies as well.

Anyway, when I finally received the book I read it cover to cover in one night. It was an easy read and definitely reinforced many of my thoughts about being a young, intelligent, sophisticated, dignified man in this world. It was nice to see some of the points that I had already known because that showed me that my mother was already raising me well.

Long story short, I recommend this book for anyone trying to better themselves in any way. And good news ladies... Bereola's next book will be geared towards you.
