When i first bought this book I sort of turned my nose up at it, I put it aside for a little while, then finally made up my mind to start reading it. As things turned out it's a good thing I picked it up again, what a wonderful book! I love the reading suggestions and personal stories included at the end of each chapter as well as the progressive step by step design of the book (which is supposed to walk you through the process of writing your own book as you read it) While I haven't necessarily started doing all the exercises included at the end of every chapter, I got some wonderful ideas and found this book to be both encourageing and inspiring.
I found this book to be very informative. Also easy to understand. A bonus, it is also a hard cover book for a great price, so it will last a long time on the shelf for those times you need to go back and reference.
