* Very AI-driven.
* Poorly edited.
* Repetitive and overly dramatic.
* Basically like reading a cliff notes version of each topic.

Should have trusted the low reviews on this one 🙃

AI generated trash. Formatting is bad, grammar is bad, the content is mediocre at best. Each page felt like a high school kid was trying to meet their word count. I started getting suspicious that it felt like AI and what do you know, flip to the back and it says the research was done with AI. But guess what, when you google the author. He doesn’t exist

All stories are true and white it’s super interesting to read the way it’s written is very boring and it lost my attention quite a bit.

AI garbage.

I was just disappointed by this book.
I wanted so badly to learn about new, shocking things but sadly, I already knew about everything this book had to offer. It was also written strangely- like a rough draft. I don’t know. Not impressed sorry to say.
