Description

The Bestseller Code by Jodie Archer and Matthew Lee Jockers is a groundbreaking exploration of the hidden patterns that make some books resonate with readers. Using cutting-edge text mining techniques, the authors have developed a model that analyses theme, plot, style and character to explain why some books capture the imagination of millions.

Archer and Jockers boldly claim that not only can mega-hits be explained and identified, but they've built the algorithm to prove it. This book is a thought-provoking and interesting exploration of the real reasons we love to read, and the magic that happens when a story captures our imagination.

With its provocative and entertaining approach, The Bestseller Code is a book worth reading for anyone interested in understanding the power of storytelling and the secrets of bestsellers.
