“Better than horrible. This was a slow read for me. Not alot new or profound as far as writing books go. I finished it, but I felt like I was being told the same bits as every other writing book. Also, VERY little to do with 'The Art of War'... I can't recommend this book to people looking for something new in the writing education world.”
