[Lynn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Took a little longer than normal to read. Maybe it's due to the compact ideas. I asked someone how they read books so fast, and they said the secret is to read slowly. So I tried reading slowly with this one, but reading too slowly has its disadvantages. It became almost impossible to see the end even though there were only a few chapters left.

This book began at a very high point - the author seemed to know how to be very engaging and did not waste words. However, at the last two chapters, I felt the disorganized thoughts start to pile and the authors point started to become hazy.

Overall still recommended due to....
All the handy and very helpful tips. Plus a lot of names and recommended reading.
