Some great tips but overall I felt it was a drag

This book came recommended and I was looking forward to it. There is very valuable and sensible advice in the book which made it worth to read. But the writing, to me anyway, was dreadful. After the first half, it has become a drag and I had to force myself to read it to the end, skipping now and then the unbearable bits. 2.5 stars really for the valuable content.

The anecdotal stories in this book can be read over and over and each time a new gem is uncovered. Jerold Panas is the master.
