Not at all. Am impressed with how the author addresses the audience with facts realistically. The tone in the writing is one of the kind that will keep you on toes and have you meditate on the principle addressed in each point.ButterscotchCherrie wrote: ↑01 Nov 2018, 14:06 The author mentions that the reader might be offended by some of the points he makes in this book. Did any of his assertions offend you? Did anything particularly stand out as being "not sugar-coated"? Or did you notice some different tones in the book? Give examples.

I completely agree with you. It's almost a disclaimer in case someone gets offended...Sen_Suzumiya wrote: ↑02 Nov 2018, 06:47 I don't think the author had any plans to offend anyone. I think he wrote this "just in case". We live in a world, nowadays, that gets easily offended by the slightest thing. I can only imagine how a straightforward book like this one might displease some people. Personally, I've learned to respect other people's opinion and I always try to see things from their perspective, thus I didn't find this book offensive at all.
That being said, I don't think this book is offensive at all.
