I thought it had some good ideas and information but by the end I felt like it was repeating a lot of the same things over and over making the overall book much longer than need be. That and the fact that towards the end of the book the editing/writing became more lazy made me feel like it was just dragging. At the beginning I don't recall any mistakes but by the end I was seeing a lot of similar but incorrect word usage along with spelling errors etc.

Quite basic concepts, nothing eye opening. It felt more like a motivational preach than practical. I was expecting more.
