 Awesome May 23, 2008

One of the best books on writing I've found so far. Detailed, clear, encouraging. Other reviewers complain that it is too "formula." It's not- it's usable. Big difference.
I say that it take a certain kind of genius to breakdown intuitive concepts into usable parts. Character is intuitive, it's all about understanding human beings and there is nothing simple about that.
Buy it. You'll be nodding you head the whole time in agreement. And you'll also be kicking yourself that you needed so much help with something so familiar to you- people. Worth every penny.

This is a well written book on how to write your characters. I found it really helpful when it comes to making my characters fuller.
One of the best in the series of Elements of Fiction Writing March 30, 2008
This is one of the best books in the series of Elements of Fiction Writing. Besides all the good information it provides, it inspired me to write more than I have while reading other books. This is a good one.

Orson Scott Card is a master story teller, so it's great to learn from him. It's one of the basic books for learning how to construct your characters. You'll need others though, like The Complete Writer's Guide to Heroes and Heroines (Paperback)
