Mr. Dodds, along with a sock puppet who takes credit for Shakespeare's works, walks you though a nine-week program for writing a novel. Although I would have liked a bit more guidance regarding prep work, I really liked this book. It was a very easy and quick yet informative and inspiring read. I was, however, a wee bit bothered by the repeated misuse of the words you're/your and their/they're along with some comma errors but, otherwise, thoroughly enjoyed the book and plan to read it again. I also hope to read the novel he often referred to in the book.
