Do Not Hold Doors is perhaps one of the most brillantly written and revolutionary texts to date. In an time where the vast majority of our youth shy away from radical politics Jeffrey Dessources bravely pushes forth with a thought provoking critique on society.

Ingenously using the image of the New York City train as a symbolism for an underground movement, the title as well as the vast majority of the text, is chalk full of metaphors and double entendres sophisticatedly coded into a style that is consistently thought provoking, and at times witty. Mr. Dessources obtains his revolutionary zeal from the noble line of Haitian warriors, and drawing upon their strength, he brings his unique perspective on everything from the war on Iraq to the Olympics.

Do Not Hold Doors, like its author, is a force to be reckoned with, and I would highly suggest we do as its author suggests and take an analytical approach to the culture around us, and "do not hold doors" thus halting the underground revolutionary movement.
