    Perfect for book lovers who want to deep dive. Easy to understand, and great for conversation at bookclubs. The author made the book fun.

    This book was interesting to read and provided a different angle to view the book. I was expecting more and slightly dissapointed

  3. Atul Kumar

    I enjoyed this book for its different angle but felt that it could have been better by providing more info and less jargon. It could have been much more interesting

  4. Saurabh Kumar Singh

    Absolutely fascinating! I loved the statistical approach to analyzing literature. A must-read for anyone who appreciates both words and numbers.

  5. Prashant Thakur

    Intriguing premise, but the execution felt a little dry at times. Still, I learned some interesting facts about my favorite authors.

    A fun, light read for book nerds! Some of the data analysis felt a bit stretched, but overall, an enjoyable exploration of authorial style.

    This book is great, it is so different and unique. I appreciate the author’s efforts. I would recommend this book to others

  8. Yash Kumar

    A clever idea, but I wish there were more examples and less statistical jargon. It got a bit repetitive in places, unfortunately.
