Book Reviews of Getting the Best of Your Anger: Before It Gets the Best of You
Book Review: Too much God talk puts the reader off the book entirely.
Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like this book. Dr. Carter has the potential to be a good writer. Some passages show that he has a pleasant writing style, but there are two glaring problems: Bible references and poor grammar/editing. There is nothing about the title or cover of this book to indicate that it is a religious text. Personally, I don't care for all the bible references, and found it unnecessary to read comparisons with the apostles or various bible characters. Many of Dr. Carter's bible examples do not have anything to do with the subject of anger management. The book is peppered with statements like, "God have humans the gift of..." and it is off-putting to a non-Christian reader. Also, that is one of my big pet peeves, bad editing: It is incorrect grammar to talk about "humans." The correct usage is to refer to "Human beings." Speaking about "humans" implies that the author is not one! As it stands, the book was simply too annoying to read more than a couple chapters. The author seems well versed in his subject, but I just couldn't stand the writing style.
