Black irish Entertainment LLC Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t: And Other Tough-Love Truths to Make You a Better Writer

This will be the same review for 2 books by Steven Pressfield: The War of Art (c 2002) and Nobody Wants to Read Your Sh*t (c 2016). Both easily merit 5 stars for content, mostly about writing, but creativity in general. They are heavily, but with relevance, autobiographical. I assume other reviews have confirmed this opinion. BUT: I am writing this review because, except for teenagers with perfect memories and 20-20 vision, they are unnecessarily difficult to read for reasons all too common in modern printing: cream-colored paper and gray print. MUCH slower reading than bright white paper and pure black ink. Worse, both lack a table of contents and an index. Each has numerous very short “chapters” on very good topics, but when I want to review for particular topics, endless flipping pages is necessary. Bottom line: excellent content, but Pressfield, his editors, or his printers make life unnecessarily difficult for readers. Thus, only 4 stars. I was tempted to give 3.

I enjoyed this book and expect that I will read it again. However, the chapters were short, with some being extremely short. Funnily enough, I don't feel cheated.

Zu leicht verfallen wir in der Marketing-Kommunikation auf Hersteller-/Anbieterseite dem „Charme“ unserer Angebote, Produkte, Leistungen, für die wir uns Aufmerksamkeit wünschen... sind sie nicht super/toll/einzigartig etc. etc. ... ?! Sind sie für die meisten Menschen wahrscheinlich nicht so sehr, wie wir hoffen... Wer sich dessen bewusst ist, dem fällt es leicht, durch die Kundenbrille zu schauen - und so zu kommunizieren, dass es für den Empfänger interessant und relevant ist. Inspirierende und unterhaltsame Lektüre für alle, die Freude am Thema Storytelling haben!

Great book but poor print-on-demand quality from Amazon. What a shame! I have Pressfield's 'The War of Art' (also Amazon print-on-demand) and the text there is MUCH darker and sharper. C'mon Amazon!

It's annoying to read this, like each page is one simple idea. Like if I took that sentence and made it into a chapter. I feel like it's the only book I have ever read and not learned a single thing.
