Summary
Some books promise you one thing and hand you another. That breaks the trust of the reader. I've read three of them recently + I’m still furious. Ron Tester is back + he's brought a multi-million bestseller filled with a promise it can't really keep. I've brought two that made me squeak with rage, including one that does something unforgivable to the most beloved character in all of Dickens. If you're a book purist, become irked by inconsistencies or enjoy hearing me having a proper rant, this one's for you. If you're writing a book, this whole show is what to avoid lest your readers loathe you (quite the warning). Look for more in the Book Huddle strand. Books discussed in this episode: Motherland - Julia Yoffe The 4-Hour Workweek - Tim Ferriss Great Expectations - Charles Dickens Havisham - L.
