reflective
medium-paced
More theoretical than prescriptive.
kjboldon's review
5.0
This is an extraordinary book that belongs on the permanent writer shelf for me. Davies' lovely prose, emotional wisdom, and excellent writing examples make for a superb craft guide, while the story he spins from beginning to end of an event with his father from his youth, is a lovely miniature memoir. All the added examples from geek culture (Battlestar Galactica!) as revision are just the sprinkles on top.
