> Anyway, some great sentences in this book. Not sure how it will stand up over time but was worth a couple hours of my time.

I'm not familiar with Ryan Holiday's work, but this almost sounds like a backhanded compliment, especially when you consider how long (and much work) it takes to write a passable book.

It's no longer about Alexandra's book; it's about Ryan's tight schedule.

It doesn't really read like it's meant to be praise or a compliment the same way, "eh, it was okay, but I wasn't blown away by it," isn't necessarily a compliment--a statement which I think is probably an accurate "synonym" to his original statement.
