Do not let the style of writing scare you off. This book is strong in what it really is: an extensive collection of bodyweight exercises. Besides this collection there are some chapters on exercise in general of which I found the one about nutrition the most valuable.
Biggest insight gained from this book was the definition of 'muscle failure' and its relevance in sets and reps. I barely count my reps anymore and am better able to listen to my body when it comes to knowing when to push my limits and when to stop.
