Customer Reviews
Good for writers? Helpful, yet confusingby future_bestseller

March 24, 2009: The book has proved useful for me, a new writer, but is still confusing. Many allusions are made to books that are meant to parrallel this book, which makes some of the tips very vague and confusing. The actual 'reading' part is slow paced, but still helpful. The worksheets that are included are really good exercises for organizing your thoughts, which is really helpful when writing a story.
