Why would the editor take a chance on dull writing? Wouldn’t that editor’s desk already be cluttered with wittier, snappier proposals?

…ALSO this guy doesn’t have a platform. If he already has a following, he hasn’t described a website or a blog where his method has gained any traction at all. No platform, no book deal.

BUT… the military isn’t at its zenith of popularity right now. And there are PLENTY of exercise methods which don’t use a lot of gear. How many martial arts / yoga / pilates-on-a-mat videos are there already? The topic isn’t as revolutionary as the author would like us to believe.

No way! This will have no appeal to children. Those who are young enough to enjoy a book with this ratio of pictures to text won’t get it. Perhaps the author is making a veiled attempt at explaining sexual confusion, or even more mundane kinds of identity confusion, such as ethnicity. But the subject matter, whatever is meant, is too complex for the likely audience. “Topic” books for young children are about more overt problems— bullying, new baby sister, etc. So— no thanks!

The comment below feels that the “dry writing style can be overcome if the methods give some progress within a relatively short period of time.” Really? That might have worked for a low-carb diet book, but not necessarily for a change-your-approach-to-life book. The reader has to be fired up to finish the flap copy… and I just don’t see that happening here.
