Amazing. Inspiring and helpful on multiple levels. I don't think I'll ever actually be done with it, with all its great essays, tools, examples, and strangeness.

Took me literally a decade to read. I don't think writing books are built for me.

Essential advice for the intermediate/advanced writer. Breaks down the craft in such an organic and intuitive way. Highly recommended.

I don't read a lot of craft books but this was pretty insightful! I liked all the inserts by other authors and the exercises at the end.
jamiejamie's review against another edition
Too basic for me. Would rather spend my time on more advanced craft books.

1st read
It was really good. I learned something new about how to write and even though it took me a long time to finish, I would like to read something similar because I want to get better at writing. And those pictures in this book were amazing.
2nd read
I still agree with the points I made after my first read of this book. It's quite interesting and made me learn a bit. I feel like now it gave me much more than when I've read it for the first time since I know a lot more about writing and I would call myself a more skilled writer. It was fun.

Great book filled with advice laid out in an interesting and thought-provoking way, and so very many writing exercises. I'm so glad I picked this book up.
