To Be Perfectly Honest by Phil Callaway

The book “To Be Perfectly Honest” by Phil Callaway was an intriguing idea. The concept of only telling the truth for a full year seems simple enough but as the author finds out it is much harder than it looks. Will our comments offend or create negative results? Will we be surprised at how people react? I commend the author for sticking it out for an entire year. I know most people would have been done within a few days or no one would be speaking to them

In many parts of his journal /book, he did have funny or enlightening stories. For the most part the book contained random ramblings, disjointed thoughts…well things you would find in a real journal. The manner of how the books was written did make it seem like you were really reading his journal but it did not always make for interesting reading. Several sections of the journal seemed to lose focus or the purpose of why he was doing this in the first place, maybe that was intentional. If you looking for a book you can read a little bit here or there this book would be great. If you are looking for a book to sit down for several hours in the evening to read, you might want to grab a back up book just in case.

I received a free copy of this book from Waterbrook Multnomah Publishing in exchange for my honest review of the book.
