review:
When I was a kid, I read Nancy Drew books mostly from the 50-70 range of the set. It was nice to reconnect, and to see what the stories were like earlier in the run.

This poor book is going to end up very thumbed through. I mean, honestly, what could be better than writing advice and exercises from Peter David?

review:
I found this book to be half-finished. Bonnet would set up this great thesis, and then get distracted by something shiny early in his explaining. Despite the fact I took several notes, I feel like I actually got very little from the book (and this will probably show when I go to reflect on the notes and shamelessly delete the vast majority of them).

If you’re just learning to craft a story, this might help you think about structure and archetypes, but you’re better off going straight to mythology and classical books.
