Bestseller Code

Not really all that informative for authors. It doesn't really go into the heart of why something works which is because this is all based on a computer analyzing these books.

Yes, it found high scores consecutively. But this also kind of reminds me of these statistics that randomly line up. Like the number of people drowning correlates to nick cage films.

The computer can give you similarities and correlation but that doesn't necessarily mean it's actionable advice for writing or even all that helpful for readers.

Also, the style of this is overly dense. Super long paragraphs offering very little for so very many words.

To boil it down. The computer says write what you know and have themes of human closeness, have a plot with good conflict, have a style, have male or female leads that take charge. Nothing real groundbreaking.

Succinct but very interesting, mild math

For a book about writing bestsellers, it's a terribly written book. Little clarity of ideas. The graphs are laughable.
