| This was my first Pratchett and now I am sad that it took me 36 years to finally start reading him. The humor, wit, and wordplay in this book is top-notch, and the world building is simply amazing. Add to those glowing assets likable, sympathetic cha...more | |

Solid advice for storytellers. Donald Maass doesn't go into writing craft at all and focuses solely on creating a compelling, page-turning story. A lot of the book's examples are extremely out of date but the core message of the book remains complete...more |

| I am certain this must have been far more shocking to Victorian readers than to someone a century separated from its writing. The story is so ambiguous it's hard to tell really what's going on, which apparently has been a matter of debate for quite s...more | |
