In this blog I want to talk about a trend I'm beginning to see in our authors writing style. I have noticed (especially in the more recent chapters) that each chapter is comprised of little stories. I'm not sure if each chapter is broken down chronologically. I have a theory as to why the book is written this way. We know that the author is actually a journalist and as anyone who has picked up a paper knows journalists write in a much different style than book writers. Once I noticed this trend I started to read each little story like it was a column.
I actually perfer this type of writing. The one reason I stop reading many books is that it gets off topic on too many details. I always found the newspaper to be a much easier read giving me the facts and letting me make judgement about it. This book is like a giant news article. I am enjoying it very much.
