1.5/5

read this for a creative writing class. this book could be summarized in a simple sentence: show don't tell. But instead, the author decided to write a whole book on it. Honestly, this should've been just an essay at most. The examples given in the book were just not that good in general (mainly just the author plugging her own works as the writing samples lol)

Informative and a great reference for writers, especially beginning writers. Contains a lot of tips I wish I'd known when I was starting out.
