Title: Springboring!
Review: This book is original in applying storytelling to business, and it offers some useful insights. The author comes across as earnest, honest and bright. So what's the problem? The writing style -- it's awful. Sentences are packed with irrelevant detail and, like kudzu, tangle and choke off the story itself. Instead of using simple words that create flow and momentum, Denning has created a syllabic jungle that you need a machete to hack through. Truly, this could have been an excellent booklet, but instead of being 30 pages, it's 200. There are lots of badly written business books, but when you write one on storytelling and can't tell a good story, there's a problem. To me, this was just barely worth the investment of time, and I was glad I borrowed rather than bought this book. I'm sorry if this comes across as mean-spirited, but after reading the other (glowing) reviews, I wanted to sound a note of warning to potential readers.
