 A must have book for fiction writers February 16, 2008

A damn good book. I recommend it 100%. It is essential reading for writers and was recommended to me by published novelists.
BUT BEWARE. The book is called HOW TO WRITE A DAMN GOOD NOVEL 2. It is exactly the same book as Frey's differently titled, but cheaper HOW TO WRITE DAMN GOOD FICTION. So make sure you don't buy the same book twice like I did.
Great, but be careful... February 6, 2006

This is a great little gem of a book, but fans of Mr Frey watch out: This is republished as "How to write a damn good fiction", so don't buy it if you've already got that one - the text is identical and you only end up having to return one...

This is a gem. The design and chapter layout is good and follows a logical progression. This helps the reader to build an excellent mind map of his advice. It gives good, practical advice and uses excellent examples to portray his points. As a manual it is impressive and it's a good read to boot. I highly reccommend it, now if only I could use his great advice!

You know the basics, you have the grammar down, the characterization, the plot, the lot - then this is what you want! I read this after writing my first novel, and was sorry I hadn't read it before; my first novel would have been so much better.
This book is for those who knows the basics and want to move on, to really get the goodies on writing. I put the book down, fully charged, and my head burst with creativity!

Hard-hitting, no-nonsense advice that does the job. This gives excellent guidelines for writers who find writers' guides sometimes a little basic. Truly invaluable and eminently usable.
