Some useful information, if the author could only leave her political and moral (or lack thereof) views out of it.

[Cherie Kephart · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fun, informative, and full of excellent practical and inspiring tips for writers. It's almost overwhelming how much information is packed into this book. Beautiful quotes adorn the pages, like one of my favorite authors, Elie Wisel, "Words can sometimes, in moments of grace, attain the quality of deeds." I'd recommend it to any writer. :)

I’ve tried a few times with this book. Maybe it’s boring, maybe it’s my ADHD, most likely it’s probably both.

This compilation of book reviews, author bios, writing prompts, grammar rules and other advice was very enjoyable. Next time, I will read the various sections by topic instead of in order.
