I think Eric is a fantastic author (and speaker). He uses examples from real companies like Dropbox, provides helpful vocabulary to use with your team, and moves on to the next point. Most modern business books take one fairly simple concept and tease 10 chapters out of it. I'd much rather have a book that is packed with ideas you can use, even if densely packed.

I'll take Eric's writing style over Steve Yegge's any day.
