It isnt offensive. Its the truth and sometimes the truth can hurt but its always meant to help regardless.

I did not personally take any offense to this book. I think that if something is offensive then it would be directed at someone. This book was not directed at a single person at all. It was a no bullsht guide that gave people the slap in the face with reality that most people might be missing.

Did anything particularly stand out as being "not sugar-coated"? Or did you notice some different tones in the book? Give examples.
If you ask about something not bein sugar-coated, then the first thing is the title of the book. isn't it?

unless you are rigid to not accept the truth (and plan to be ignorant forever), the reality of life should not offend you. I appreciate your views.

I didn't find it offensive at all. I thought most of the advice provided was based on basic common sense.

I didn't fid anything offensive in this book- just hardcore and straightforward points. The author has done his work by giving us points and techniques which are practical and useful, not some get rich quick or one fix-all gimmick. That's why I love this book, and don't find anything offensive in it.

I did not find the text offensive or sugar-coated at all. The author was very honest with what he had to say and I really admire that because it takes guts to do so.

It will only offend you if what you’re reading is true about yourself and if it speaks to your character.

I didn’t find the book offensive in any way, if anything it was refreshing to read because the author wasn’t sugarcoating his content and was very straightforward.

I don't think the writer's strong choice of words, and direct approach to things were aimed at offending readers.
