He rambles a bit but it's a good book

[Erin · Rating 1 out of 5]

The writing format of the book was really annoying, making it hard to read. It seemed juvenile and unpolished especially given that the topic was on how to write in a compelling way! And the endless quotes were not often related to the subject matter. Mega Gifts was better, but only slightly.

Excellent! This book is going on my grant writing and nonprofit reference shelf. Reading this book made me want to work with Mr. Panas. His experience, enthusiasm, and methodology combined form a positive, infectious case for using words to change the world.
