What a mess.
I just listened to two of his podcasts, and did not agree with one, and I think I agree with the other. I say THINK because his meandering unstructured "narrative" I find nearly intolerable. One word; OUTLINE. For the love of god, man, you took the time to read the book, take a few minutes to slap together a plan. You're all over the place. Instead of gabbing on in the beginning, have an opening. Intro the book. Give a summary. A general pronouncement. Follow this with perhaps a pros/cons list, or a formatted breakdown(critique the setting, then character dev., etc.). Relate possible suggestions for different authors one might enjoy. these things aren't constricting; they keep you from sounding like an idiot. Now I don't think you are an idiot. I just think you could do better.
