I want to preface my review by stating that I really did have a difficult time giving this book a “rating” per se.
A 5 in my book is a book that I can’t put down, that I loved to read, and that I think I will read again. A 4, is a book that I liked. I enjoyed it. It was really good, but I probably won’t read it again, but would recommend to others. A 3, is something that was okay. I didn’t love it, but I didn’t hate it. I may or may not recommend it to others to read. It was just ‘eh’, as I like to say.
I can say, it wasn’t a 5. I may refer back to it, but I won’t read it again, and I certainly didn’t
love
it. I felt like a 4 would be somewhere in the ball park, but it wasn’t what I classified as *really* good. However, I loved the point of the book. I would recommend it to others. Therefore, it was kind of a 4, but not quite a 3. Hence, 3.5.
Here’s why.
The basis, the meat, the purpose of the story was great. The first few chapters I really enjoyed. Then it started sounding like a broken record.
I felt it was very repetitive the entire book. The same things were being said over and over and over. They weren’t said in different ways either. It was the same thing.
The book felt incredibly long and it took quite the amount of time for me to finish it. I think it’s because after the first few chapters, it became repetitive and much harder for my attention to remain on the book, the words, the pages.
I must also admit that I felt there was a chapter, that in my own personal opinion, was unnecessary. Note, that is just MY personal opinion.
Outside of those minor things, I really felt that the point of the book was excellent. I feel like I am almost to my own personal IT factor, but I definitely have areas to work on.
Some parts of the book I would read and get excited to think that I have the IT factor and then I would read something and say to myself, “That is something I need to work on.”
I think my favorite part of the entire book was the chapter that shared examples of charismatic people in our world. Some of them I didn’t know (maybe, 2?) and there were some that I didn’t really consider charismatic (e.g. Bill Clinton, who I can openly admit I do not know much about.) Some of them were ones that I 100% agree as charismatic people with the IT Factor.
I definitely recommend the book to others and thing it is a really good self-help and motivating book.
