Musical Book Review

When I was getting ready to do this video book review, I wanted to do something with a little bit more excitement than just sitting there and talking about the book. So, I decided to write a song. Please forgive the ultimate cheesiness, but we can all use a few cheesy songs in our life, right?

I wanted to write a song that took the themes from the book that I am planning on using for my research as I go through out the semester. Here are the lyrics:

Robert Gu was an old, forgetful man.
Couldn't do that much, but now he can
Thanks to futuristic technology
and miracles of medicine he's lookin' like a teen.
He's a whole new person and he must explore this brave new world.

But even though it saved his life, he doesn't like it.
He just wants to go back in time and be a poet.
But he's gotta learn to use his wearable
and he's learning that it might not be so terrible.
He's building up a whole new part of Robert Gu.
It's something new.

Conspiracies are everywhere you look,
but no one cares about that part of the book.
The plot and characters don't deserve your care,
but the themes will make you question all that you can bear.
We've just gotta dive right in and explore this brave new world.

Even though it saved his life, he doesn't like it.
He just wants to go back in time and be a poet.
But he's gotta learn to live with technology,
and that doesn't mean he's gotta write his eulogy.
He's building up a whole new part of Robert Gu.
It's something new.
And we've all gotta be a part of something new.

Here is my Goodreads review for you to reference if you have any questions about the song. It is basically the same but it just goes into a little bit more detail, and it's not as cheesy.
