“I like the format and presenter/presentation - easily digestible segments presented in a personal and appealing way. I like Lee Child's approach and messaging, picking up very helpful nuggets. I also like that it is set up to inform and I'm allowed to consider what I take from it without the pressure to act/complete homework.”

“Lee Child's divergents/tangents, as he puts it, were remarkable in how insightful they were. I would let him talk my ear off before he ever had to weave into a point.
I came across one of his books as a gift when I was a teenager. In-where I could imagine Jack as my dad who was an MP himself, and having the series impact my decision to join the military myself. At the time, I wouldn't have considered myself a reader─ though his writing style showed that I didn't dislike books─ just that most books were, for lack of a better word, shit.
Which in turn, allowed me to appreciate his lesson on knowing what; I don't like about someone's writing.
Say like journalists loving to start their column with the weather or what their damned office looks like─ coupled with the taste of whatever latte they decided to order from some 'artisan barista' to start their day. Tell me again what the skyline looks like. Like I give a shit, I clicked some title-bait about a family of seven being blown up in Yemen. It's not like the writer even uses it as juxtaposition (which I still wouldn't care for), and their lives are not as interesting as someone like Hunter S. Thompson. So. Stop it.
I feel like in some prints of the NY Times, I could discern the layout of their entire office. Sheesh.
The course in general, also provided a fantastic pulse on the industry in a holistic sense.”
“It's clearly presented. It comes across as straightforward, but some of the concepts are ones that are difficult to master, made more complicated because authors are so inconsistent over execution of many aspects of the craft :-)”
