review 1: I got this book for Christmas this year and did not have high hopes. Most of this kind of book are full of the same fairly useless information. However, I found that this one went above all of the rest. I especially loved the way the author used examples of what she was trying to teach. It was very helpful in a real way. I also enjoyed the author interviews. It was nice to see that some other successful authors think the same way I do. I would definitely recommend this book to teens who are trying to become fiction writers.
review 2: I love to pick up instructional books and see if they have any validity. This one, though written for teens, would help anyone who wanted to learn to write creative fiction. Also, the fact that it's written for teens works as an ad... morevantage, because the book is full of exciting material, quotes and advice that never gets monotonous. It guides you through he basic necessities of every story- conflict, setting, characters- as well as the lesser understood but equally as important topics like point of view and avoiding "purple" writing. This book has quotes on every page, some hilarious, tragic, inspiring, but all relevant in some way. I recommend it even if you don't want to become a writer, because it's entertaining to read. less
