The Best Seller Code review

Is it possible to sort of guess everything the book is going to say, not be surprised by any of its figures, and still feel like you learned something? I feel like I was just told a lot of information I sort of already knew but now that I actually saw it in writing it’s actually sticking like I actually feel like I learned it rather than came to it on intuition.

What I found most interesting about this book was the algorithm. It actually quantified success and gave unbiased responses to books that had already been on the best seller list. The need to develop characters in order to tap into emotion made sense, and building of tension through rising and falling action is something I have seen plenty of times in books I’ve read. How Gone Girl had the word “need” in 163 sentences to create a clear and powerful character, which created strong emotions for the reader.

Rather than reading this book to learn how to write a best seller I thought the analysis of already existing best sellers was most fascinating. Like how the algorithm preferred female styles of writing (not necessarily female authors). A number of successful female authors had backgrounds in journalism so they wrote blunt, digestible stories. Though the algorithm was convinced James Patterson was a female and Toni Morrison was a male (that was a funny tidbit).

Ultimately what I learned was people want to be entertained.
