Number Of Pages: 224

Details:

From personalities and entertainers Kian Lawley and Jc Caylen comes a completely wild and entirely true account of their rise to internet fame: Kian and Jc: Don’t Try This at Home! More than 7 million YouTube subscribers, 5 million Twitter followers, and 5 million Instagram followers cannot wait for this sometimes hilarious, sometimes awkward, and always crazy collection of stories, interviews, and exclusive photos. Fans of their YouTube channel, KianAndJc, can expect an intimate look at the comedians’ wild ride to fame and insight into their future plans, along with big laughs. This candid record of Kian and Jc’s success documents a whirlwind experience full of highs, lows, and, of course, awesome pranks. Kian and Jc: Don’t Try This at Home! combines the raucous tone that made the duo YouTube sensations with the sincerity and honesty Kian and Jc fans have been waiting for.   From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up-Although light on substance, even compared to other browsable pop culture titles, this volume on the two YouTube stars will, without a doubt, appeal to their admirers, who sent waves of "ily" (I love you) responses to each tweet promoting the book. Fans will appreciate this quick read for its details about the guys (their childhoods, rise to semi-fame, and lives on tour). The design resembles that of a notebook/yearbook, but the alignment and page breaks are often off and detract from the already slim information present. For the uninitiated, this book will do nothing to clarify why Lawley and Caylen have fans in the first place, much less well over two million followers. Online, their chemistry as friends and their personal charisma are easier to see, albeit through a haze of self-referential bro culture. In print, a sense of entitlement is what mostly comes through, particularly via photos of the pair wearing Afro wigs and short basketball uniforms for laughs. VERDICT Consider only for collections where this YouTube duo is popular.-Miriam DesHarnais, Towson University, MD
