Narration - Not an Audiobook
Plot
Is there a storyline? How connected is one Idea to the one before it?
Answer: It definitely feels like quite a captivating book,
even though it just contains marketing principles, which are usually considered “boring”.

Heading Distribution
When I read the heading, do I recall the contents?
Answer: Yes! For most of them I do, and even those that do not make the contents jump to mind right away, after a quick look at the subheads, of which there are plenty, are quickly raising memories of content 19/20
Drive For Implementation
How much does the book push you to apply its contents?
Visuals
Does it use images or other resources to transfer its message?

Content
How interesting/useful was the content?
Answer: I have used 3 of its basic principles, right in the blogpost of it, as a result of reading it. so I’d say it’s quite useful! And it was also interesting. As I stated a few times already, I felt quite captivated. 20/20
The true usability of the 5 fundamentals can be described for me as follows:
1 – A specific plan for using in next piece
2 – Was already used before I read the book
3 – Implemented in the post itself as a result of the book

5 – Implemented in the post itself partially as a result of the book and partially before
