I am a beginner when it comes to writing, just so you know where to put my opinion. I think his advice is useful, especially if you're totally lost (like me). BUT I am so glad the book is over. A lot of the things could have been said in a much "knackiger" way. And his opinions about the new gender rules, he could have kept for himself. All in all yes, i would recommend it. Is it useful? Yes, to some degree. Is it fun? No, absolutely not. I did not enjoy. 3 / 5
