- Latest Review: The Reel Sisters by Michelle Cummings
I agree with this. The author blended well her personal experience with the actual information giving the readers a better view of her concept.Kiran Kanwar wrote: ↑15 Jun 2021, 02:32 When somebody provides information about something, readers want to know that from what experience/authority is the person giving this information and if this information is trustworthy. So, the memoir parts are necessary. But at the same time, there should be a balance between the author's own experiences and actual information. Otherwise, the purpose of the book is defeated.

I think when someone write a story, they build their story based on personal experiences whether their own or someone else's. I don't think there is any information lost in the course of the author penning down her personal experiences.Namitha Iyer wrote: ↑14 Jun 2021, 23:04 Given that the first several chapters talk about the author's personal experiences within healthcare and her struggles with the same, do you think that this foundation was necessary to build her arguments surrounding other topics later on in the book? Or do you believe that in the process of penning down her own experiences, other important information that could have been provided to the reader was lost?

I agree. Especially when it comes to such complicated topics. The more we know about the source the more it builds credibility. Otherwise, it will be hefty to keep checking if the information is correct or not.
