Muy técnico. Muy practico. Al grano de los básicos que hay que aprender. Subrayado y en la librería bien a mano para cada vez que desarrolle personajes.

Surely this book is one of the most interesting ones of the entire collection of the writer's guides. Although it may not seem so, developing a character is one of the most difficult tasks. Trace their physical traits, their personality, the way they move or their voices are a tremendous and previous exercise before starting to write any story. So for all the authors who are beginning to develop their novels, stories or tales I recommend to read this booklet that provides techniques and teachings of great importance.
Seguramente este es uno de los libros más interesantes de toda la colección de guías del escritor. Aunque pueda no parecerlo, desarrollar un personaje no es una tarea nada fácil. Trazar sus rasgos físicos, su personalidad, su manera de moverse o su tono de voz son ejercicios previos a la escritura de cualquier historia si queremos comprender y hacer creíbles a nuestros personajes. Así que para todos los autores que empiecen a desarrollar sus novelas, relatos o cuentos les aconsejo que lean este libreto que aporta técnicas y enseñanzas de gran importancia.

Un libro idóneo para guiarte mejor en cuanto a la creación de personajes y cómo trabajarlos en tus novelas. Este libro te hace un resumen rápido y fácil de leer para tener las ideas claras antes de empezar una historia o corregir levemente si ya la has empezado. He agradecido que en cada explicación hubiera unos ejemplos para comparar y entender mejor la situación. Temas a tratar en este tomo han sido, entre otros, diálogos, personalidades, voces, tipo de narrador, personajes necesarios...

Describe de manera clara como crear personajes de ficción. En mi opinión no se deja ningún punto por tocar. Es verdad que en ocasiones la lectura se hace un poco pesada, pero por la densidad de información
