Really short one sentence tips that are pretty much common sense do not a book make.

[Am Y · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book was supremely boring and tedious to go through. I borrowed it from the library 'cos I wanted something lighthearted and fun to read. But there were no pictures or illustrations at all - the content features little one-/two-sentence snippets per tip, and these tips are mainly common sense, or stuff you already knew, or could easily read on the Internet, especially if you're subscribed to website newsletters in which daily/weekly tips are sent straight into your inbox. There is nothing groundbreaking to be found in here. If the content had been nicer-looking, or presented in a more interesting manner, then this book would have warranted a higher rating.

My verdict: boring, horrid presentation with nothing new to offer. Anyone could have gone on the Internet, collected these "tips", and published them into a "book".
