[Kasey · Rating 3 out of 5]

For those fiction writers looking to learn deep POV, this book is good for learning about filter words and how to write around them. However, the book itself is just terribly written and redundant. I see the value in its use but it was painful to read everything besides the example sentences.

4.5 stars rounded up.

This book looks at ways to portray emotions in writing by being descriptive rather than just stating the emotions. The writer emphasized avoiding filtering words, which are words that take the reads out of the story. A lot of examples were provided to show how sentences can be rewritten to give the writing more life.

The book gets repetitive sometimes, hence the missing half star, but I still think I learned a lot from it.

More of a handbook to come back, for the laster 60 percent of the book, this is a highly detailed and hands on look with a host of useful examples, for getting character emotion on the page by showing, not telling.

Wonderful refresher for the editing author or the first timer.
