Review of Niching Up
Posted: 09 Sep 2023, 08:58
[Following is a volunteer review of "Niching Up" by Chris Dreyer.]
Niching up is a good book. The author has done a good job. There are no typos that I could find throughout the book. Though there are a few things that I didn't like about the book, overall, it was worth reading. The negatives are listed below-
1. The book couldn't keep me hooked throughout, I had to start and stop, and start again to finish the book.
2. The book is mostly about what the author did, and less about how they did it. This is another reason why the writing felt centred onto just 1 person- the author, while I assume the target audience is much better. The writing didn't touch my mind, or make me think any differently.
The merits of this book are listed below-
1. The writing is very straight-forward.
2. The story promises a good ending.
3. There are no details as to how the author is doing what they are doing but that's what makes the ready so much more easy.
4. It can be a very good weekend read. It's quick, to the point, and doesn't have a contradicting premise.
Overall, I liked it from an easy-reading perspective. However, I don't think it puts a lot of value in the lives of the readers. As stated earlier, the book narrates what the author did and less of exactly how they did it. With a little more details of how the author did what he did, it would have been an amazing self help book.
I will be reducing another point, because the author, though, writes beautifully about his achievements, as a reader, it really didn't add value to my thinking. I would consider a book like that to be a waste of time. I respect how the author is talking about themselves; however, without the significant details of the "how", I don't think I'll read this book ever again.
