Reviews

My reviews mainly include the book summaries, notes, learning, that it imparted. There are many which are completely useless, there is a post to capture that too. So that you don’t waste your time reading it.

Captured following details in most of the reviews:

1. Rating - I follow 3 point (that I call, IJK) rating system.

   • Book impressed me (I). You may want to read further.

   • Book had few good points (J). Just good enough for you to skim through.

   • Book will kill you (K). You wouldn’t wanna spend any time surfing through this book.

2. Book Summary - Depends on rating for the book.

   • In (K), you seldom find any notes. I couldn’t find any new, magnificent, non-obvious stuff.

   • In (J), you will find few bullet points capturing key takeaways and highlights.

   • 1. would have detailed summary, sometimes categorized by chapters/topics, illustrations, key takeaways. Don’t be surprised if you find paragraphs quoted as it is to maintain brevity of content.
