Read the synopsis here.
What I liked:
The author has an easy style that makes reading a how-to book pleasurable, in fact, I set aside my current novel to read it.
Each chapter has an exercise that you can use to strengthen your work in progress, using the tools from that chapter.
This book allowed me to look at all of my WIP with a fresh perspective. The writing advice Paul gives is universal and helped me look more simply at the YA novel I am working out.
Paul gives picture book examples to help illustrate each writing tip.
I love the instruction on the rhythm in words and how poetry can help us with our prose.
What I would have changed:
Nothing, really. It’s a pretty straight-forward book with great advice.
The verdict:
Aspiring writers who have no idea where to begin will devour this book, and those who are looking for a fresh way to spruce up their writing will benefit from the exercises.
