The review is nicely written however it does not sound like the book is worth reading. I guess I will pass on this one.

The Title of the book is very eye catching but the text is very tangential but still I will read it once.

Originality should be a foundation for works of art. It's up to a writer to take the most basic topic and make something unique out of it. Thanks for the honest review.

The book is actually a great one, it could probably be relatable to other books, that's why one can propose a lack of originality. Thanks for the encouraging and motivating writes.

I agree! Book reviews are very helpful to filter out books that are worth your time.

Once in a while, I love to read motivational books. I took initial interest on the book, however, when I saw the review, I think I'll just pass. :)
Happy reading,
Gelli xoxo

It's sad that a book about some of the great secrets of life fails at being creative and unique. Thanks for the review. Will probably not give this one a go.

Thanks for the review, it's very well-written!

Sounds like something I would have a hard time getting through. Thank you for your honesty. Maybe the author will end up changing something due to your constructive criticism.

Latest Review: How To Be Successful by M. Curtis McCoy

Post by TextuaryWorm »

Working through a book you don't feel attached to can be tough going, but I think you did really well in this review. I wonder if a book starts off with the feeling it will take a lot of effort to read, do we then decide that is it and not give it the chance it deserves by keeping the eyes and mind fresh?
The author of this book from your review seems narrow minded and as if his views are weighted to his argument and he in unfounded in stating that we should be so harsh against emotions.
I enjoyed this review, thank you for reading the book and getting it back to us all!

Thanks for the honest review. There’s a difference between profit targeted self help and a truly inspiring self help that renders clear cut truths. I think that is the case here

IT has a good tittle and I feel like people feel comfortable with the tittle, but you should have included more fishes in it without the human but it’s really good I like it and I hope the reviewers like it to keep up the good work it’s awesome

I read this book before discovering OnlineBookClub. It was sometimes tedious, but it had a few great takeaways. The main takeaway from this book is to continuously push yourself outside of your comfort zones and to embrace the unknown. You never know where it could lead you!

The Lion is well trained at all circumstance and waits patiently, hiding but remaining very alert. How can you become an organic thinker?
