It does seem that way, doesn't it? Thanks for stopping by to leave a comment! (:

It appeared to me that the writer has wonderful ideas but is lacking their presentation. I'm sure the writer has enough potential only if the book was given time. Nice review!

I wholly agree with you; the book would be much better had the author took the time to properly develop it. Thank you for stopping by!

Too bad about this read. While reading your review, I kept thinking to myself that this sounds more like a memoir than a guide, and found out you commented exactly that. Thanks for the honest review!

It's sad the book doesn't meet the expectation; the title sounds promising. Thanks for the comprehensive review.

Thank you for giving an honest review. Success books sometimes have difficulty generating a positive audience, depending on who wrote the book and how the book discusses success. It seems that this one was not as great as other books that I have read. I hope that the next book that you read is better. :)

I don't think any amount of reading could ever get me to commercial pilot level. And either way, this one obviously falls very short.
Loved reading your review :)

The idea behind this book is overused to be honest. Had the author taken a different writing angle, it could've been helpful, but, I agree with you that the majority of the content does not seem useful. Great review!
