Negative Positive
Title: Unrealistic
Review: I'm an experienced ghostwriter. Let me nip something of Grossman's in the bud right off the bat. His major premise seems to be that you don't have to spend a lot of money on a ghostwriter because all you need to start is a proposal about your book, not the actual book in hand. Then you just send the proposal to agents/publishers and, if it's good enough, bam! you'll get a big advance. Um...no. Unless you're a celebrity or an expert with a HUGE platform, good luck getting a publisher to give you an advance for a sight-unseen work. It's almost irresponsible to suggest that it can happen. Grossman's wrong. I'll give him two stars because there is some practical advice in here, but that's all he's getting until he joins the rest of us in the real world.
Is the review positive or negative?
