I got to come out and say this, I did not enjoy this book. I have gone through both Christian Thibaudeau and Paul Carter’s stuff before, which I would say was good. Maybe that was the problem, I was very familiar with what the book was going to say before I even started reading. 

For one it was riddled with typos. I am not the biggest stickler for things like this, but it was pretty sloppy in terms of simple spelling and grammar. There was one page where a photo, that was unnecessary to begin with, was covering several words within a paragraph. All in all, simply proofreading would have done a lot to improve the quality. 

The other aspect that was difficult was that it did not seem to take a unified approach from both authors. What I found difficult was that it felt like it was just two people writing with no connection to each other and compiling it into a book with random chapters. The book had no flow from one chapter to the next.

There was a ton of fluff and not much substance behind what they were saying. It just felt like it was a bunch of random blogs that were just published into a book. Honestly, I have thought about taking my blogs and converting them into an E book at some point, seriously reconsidering that. 

I usually find Christian Thibaudeau’s writing very good and take several points that were at least thought provoking. There were times reading this where I felt like he was forcibly trying to ‘dumb’ it down to be more readable to the masses. The natural default was to talk about protocols he uses, which is fine but felt that was the only thing listed that was trying to bring value. Just felt like, he has better work.

I am an author as well, so I fully understand that saying something interesting or compelling all the time is hard. This felt rushed, it was not well thought out, it really did not try to answer any direct questions or problems. I am sure there are those out there that disagree with me on this. I hope that is the case to be honest. I may go back and try and give it a second look. But all in all, not very good for the first run through.
