5.0 out of 5 stars A truly excellent book!, 14 Jan 2002
By A Customer
I am reading English at university, and found this book to be of tremendous use. It is expertly written and very informative. I found myself going back to this book time and time again. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to develop their own creative writing skills.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not necessarily for the beginner, 6 April 2005
By A Customer
Because this book assumes some knowledge of the art of creative writing, it is not necessarily recommended for the beginner. The book includes many literary references which mean little if the reader is not familiar with the works referred to.

Whilst the introduction clearly sets out the aims of the book, I did not feel these were fully achieved by the end of the book. However, the book included lots of useful information on what should be achieved, but I would have liked more information on the practical side of how to do it.
