Recently I’ve read a much hyped book that wasn’t necessarily bad, it was just too long. I felt like the entire information of 300 pages could have fitted on 20. Probably even less.

Now, I understand that publishers sell paper. But they, and the authors, should respect the readers’ time. Especially these days, where there are so many alternatives. Nobody get’s bored anymore these days. We’re bombarded by data.

So, if it didn’t happen earlier I’ve now lost my faith in hit books, Amazon ratings and even the recommendations of a group of people I used to respect. I mean how can they recommend this?

And no it wasn’t a subject I already knew about. It was just repeating the same point over and over with different examples.

It was a very disappointing read.
