Este libro me ha gustado mucho pues ensena muchos trucos pero sobre todo es un excelente motivador para sacar el escritor que llevas dentro, en lo personal es un libro que hay que dejar en la biblioteca personal.

A friend of mine recommended it to me and I'm glad she did. It was a quick read and had some good pieces of advice that I think I'll be using in the future.
