As a aspiring author, I found this book both inspirational and educational. It went beyond the 'show don't tell' mantra to really explain what this, and other facets of good novel writing really mean, with examples. I particularly liked the in depth discussion on short stories, characters, plot and also author mindset. I would have liked a table of contents at the start, but thought the summaries at the end of each chapter very helpful. Recommended for all budding writers.
