I read 40 books from the beginning of the year. "12 Rules of Life" is the only book I could not finish. I stopped at about 70-80% (actually I just left it on 1.25x on Audible while doing other things but without my full attention). He just rambles about Gepetto story and Bible stories that after a while it loses al sense, yeah we get it what you want to tell, but if you make parallels with Bible stories for a hundredth time it loses its appeal and point. His book would be fine if it cut almost all of those Bible references out, left some, and included other references and stories also to which people could more relate to.
