The writing in "Chess Biographies for Kids" by M. Neville is *unbelievably* poor. The content is shallow and disjointed—each biography reads like a hodge-podge of randomly picked life facts without any narrative thread to connect them into a coherent life story.
More so, each biography reads like several AI-generated segments (the ~700words kind you'd get from ChatGPT 3.0's token limits) crudely stitched together with zero editorial oversight.
We abandoned the book after the Bobby Fischer chapter. The whole thing felt nonsensical to me and unengaging to my little chess player (who actually asked for a book like this!)

Disjointed and poorly written - lacks narrative cohesion
