Several critiques.
1. The "Fact Check" sections are so obvious that anyone could answer the questions without reading the book. It's not actually testing your knowledge on anything or causing you to think.
2. Everything is surface level with very little support for most of the claims. Nothing particularly insightful on offer.
3. The moment I had to put the book down and consider this book "Read" came when the author with no hint of irony (on page 91) suggests that a 5ft 3' person (or shorter!!) can legitimately look 6 feet tall and will be mistaken for such... if they are confident. I've never read a sentence in a book that was as stupid as that in my life. They might appear a little bit taller if they stand with good posture and are confident, but nobody is mistaking them for 9 inches taller than they are. This, by the way, is stated by the author as a fact. I think anyone in their right mind would agree that it's a farce.
