Book reviews on Twitter (please excuse my typo, by the way):

The other night, @OhEmGillie (the Twitter persona of Gillian Ramos) and I had a nice little run at James Franco’s Palo Alto via Twitter, which led Editor-in-Chief of Specter Magazine Mensah DeMary to take notice and publish it as, well, a book review of sorts.

I’m not claiming that we managed to delve into a lot of the themes in an exchange of 140 characters (i.e., the nihilism and over-exemplified masculinity that runs through the book), but we talked about some of the flaws (there are, ahem, many).

And as @OhEmGillie says, “more books should be reviewed this way.” 

What do you think of the possibility/role of social media in book reviews?
