Title: Maybe for others, not for me.
Review: This book is very conversational in style with "footnote" references on nearly every page that explain or defend Ueland's ideas or judgment. I almost felt as if I were reading a book written by a teen. Apparently there are many would be artists of every sort, writers in particular, who have no confidence to even begin their art. After the first chapter, I began reading the book faster and faster because I got tired of reading the refrain "You are unique, you need confidence" etc. Her editor didn't catch an important missing word and the passages included for demonstration are in the same font as Ueland's, so often it is cloudy whether the paragraph is a continuation of the quote or Ueland's words. I am happy for those who were inspired by Ueland's suggestions. The ideas were valid, just overstated.
Is the review positive or negative?
