What an outstanding book. It really was written with such an authority on power in our day and age and reaching a new level of self-awareness. The concise version is all you need, it has more than enough information and doesn’t feel like other summaries.

If there was ever a book on how to become an evil supervillian then this would be the book. I quote "to gain power, it is better for people to depend on you out of fear rather than for the love of having you in company. Fear can be controlled. Love cannot".
This deliciously evil book has many useful skills in how to climb the ladder and control those around you. It did however lose a star as the sometimes dry historical stories given as an example to the rules of power can sometimes get a bit boring and drawn out. If you are not a lover of history this book will definately not be up your alley. I did however thoroughly enjoy this book and its fastidiously researched historical examples but the red side notes did get a bit distracting and when i actually made effort to read them they honestly didnt add anything and couldnt have just been done without. I give it 4 cackling disney villians out of 5.

This book is very intriguing and I don’t know if everything there is good in my opinion. I mean we all need Frends and people who we tell our stories. But it had its trues and interesting lessons. I learned plenty from it! Highly recommend it! Have a good day :)

Cover has folds where is has slight been bent and the color on the inside pages of the book is very low quality. Also the paper used in the book seems very low quality, I plan to return this book.
