Review: the cover is colorful and attractive just like a Title. The blurb is precise and gives you the insight of the story. It is a non-fiction book that tells you actual facts. Everything has a story it’s just that we need to present it properly. The author had very well introduced the concept of telling stories with an example. I still remember I was feeble in maths, and I used to learn Trigonometry formulas with the help of story behind the formula. Even learning Planets was easy because of the story. The facts written by the author were interesting and accurate. This book creates an impact on the readers. All the examples made the book an enjoyable read. It is a small book and a quick read. Every person should read this book as it will enable them to crack the interview or encourage you to write a story.
I didn’t find any drawback only I wish to have a paperback of this book.
