The Wise Defect Fixer by Pal Beckes
A Book That's a Total Waste of Time and Money
summarizeEditor's Summary
I picked up this book during our year-end cleaning session, and I've got to say, it's a total letdown. As a teacher, I was expecting a self-help book with positive advice on believing in oneself, but it turns out it's actually for kids. The author, Pal Beck, is a Hungarian writer, but this book just didn't deliver. It's like they took every cliche and mashed them together into a mess. If you're looking for a book that's going to inspire you, keep looking. I was expecting a lot more substance, but what I got was a bunch of fluff. The writing style is clear, but it's also super simplistic - not exactly what I'm looking for in a self-help book. Overall, I'd say this book is a waste of time and money. If you've got kids, they might enjoy it, but for adults, it's a total miss.
