خیلی ضعیف. کتاب به‌عنوان دستورالعملی برای نویسندگان تازه‌کار نوشته شده. اما برای من که از روی تفنن خواندمش تقریبا هیچ نکته‌ی تازه و کاربردی‌ای نداشت، چه برسد برای نویسندگان

I didn't read this book exactly. I read an edition prior to it that doesn't have an ISBN. Anyway, it's helpful for terminology and foundational components of stories. Not much else beyond that.

شر و ور. نخوانید. وقت‌تلف‌کردن است. فقط نسخه‌پیچی می‌کند. اگر تمام نویسنده‌های خلاق جهان قرار بود این‌طور باشند، در جهان یک داستان بیشتر نداشتیم.

I first read this back in high school, and just looked it over again. This slim, readable volume is a solid introduction to the basic forms of writing, and to what makes for good writing. A lot has changed since it was published, but it is still worth reading.

A short guide to writing both fiction and nonfiction. It's a decent opening introduction to the forms of narrative but there's not a lot of detail in it. It's getting fairly old now as well.

This how to book was really fascinating and interesting to read. I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to become a writer.
