The content was good, but the writing was terrible. When I read something I don't want to be conscious of the writing and reading this book took concentration. I found myself re-reading sentences because they were overly long. Many grammatical errors. She even changed his last name from Hernandez to Fernandez at one point, causing me some confusion. This book reads as though it had not been edited. One sentence, for example, made no sense until I realized that (I believe) she had written "singer" and meant "single". Even then, the sentence was too long and awkward. I think I'd actually enjoy editing this book just to see how badly it was written.
I do acknowledge that a lot of research is involved and they probably rushed the book out to take advantage of Bruno's current popularity.
