I liked the writing. Reading flowed smoothly. At some point it felt like reading fiction.

I like the writing style. I'm not much of a fan of nonfiction so anytime an author can incorporate more narrative-type aspects, it makes me enjoy it more. Typical nonfiction is too dry for me. Bring on the stories!

I enjoyed the mix of stories and non-fiction writing. The stories helped to bring alive and simplify the points which the author wanted to make. They also added some drama to the work.

I think it is a great way to simplify and create engagement for such a dry and difficult topic.
The authors' choice in writing style was certainly well-thought-out with the readers in mind. It made what could otherwise have been a rather tedious topic quite engaging.

I really did enjoy the author's writing style. the book is narrated as a series of events in a story which makes it very easy to read and understand.

I appreciated the writing style in this book. I do agree that helps simplify things for the reader with such a dry topic. Without it, it would have been a much more challenging and much less engaging read.

Considering the discussions that this book presents, it would have brought forth boredom if it relied entirely on narration. The dialogues deployed spice up everything and give the read a fluid flow.

I think that the writing style of the authors is the strongest point for this book. The easiness in communication is what makes it stand out from other works of this genre, and in this way it is possible to reach a wider public. I think they really made a great stylistic choice!

Yes, I appreciate the writing style of Daniel Friedmann. I believe that most topics in science are too complex for average readers to remain interested. Therefore, losing many potential readers who are really interested. Therefore, I feel that Mr. Friedmann is brilliant for choosing a writing style that is not only relatable but entertaining as well.
