I've had the pleasure of attending two of the courses that Phil teaches at the Writer's Digest University, and his knowledge of the craft is extensive. He brings that to the fore in this work, his vivid prose making this reader recoil in horror during Gilroy's activities in the beginning. The thought
occurred to me that anyone who can read this and not react would be a good candidate for a
sociopath watch list.
Yes, Phil's work is THAT good. For those wanting a front row seat at a descent into madness, Completely Broken is completely recommended.
