An amazing book! It follows such topics of writing, like exposition and ending, point of view, dialogue, style, sex, plot, plagiarism, and editing a manuscript. The book is full of anecdotes from the lives of writers and editors, as well as giving a lot of examples from published and known novels of what works and what doesn’t work for the reader.
Besides a desire to write, it also gives a great desire to reread the classics with a new eye.
