The style of the blog post, with short, abrupt sentences does not captivate me. I’d like to think someone writing a book has a more interesting writing style. Or maybe LLMs have damaged me and I’m too critical of writing style now, whatever it is this doesn’t sell the book to me.

Ever read Hemingway? Short, abrupt sentences. Sometimes incomplete. Observations with invisibly attached emotions. Their rhythm. Reader's imagination completes the picture like no author could.

A powerful style, merely sixty years old.

Two paragraphs in and I have no idea what they’re selling me. A timeline on how to write a book? A font? A solution to a problem? Just casual lording? AI slop at its finest.

The author is quite prolific. Basically a blog post per day for the last couple of months!
