Customer Reviews:Average Customer Rating: This edition poorly put together This is my first exposure to this book so I'm left wondering if all the printings are the same. While the content is overall okay, the printing of this book is awful. The most terrible, and ironic, problem is there are typos everywhere including the back cover. Buy a different printing, maybe you'll have better luck. Sure wish I'd saved my return slip. Don't Buy This Defective Book! Don't buy this book. It is missing the front pages. There is no title page, legal details page, table of contents, preface, etc. It starts abruptly on page 3. I told Amazon this in my replacement request. They sent me an equally defective book. Save your money and time. I like this lady I'm a writer and have read a lot of books about writing. This is one of my favorites. Contrary to what a few reviewers said, I do not think this book is only for beginning or immature writers. I've been writing for about 25 years and it spoke to me in a place where I needed it. I believe only something like two percent of writers actually earn even close to a living wage from writing, so there have got to be ton of slightly disheartened writers out there. This book will soothe exactly where it hurts and make you feel like writing even if you never sell one article or receive a contract for one book. If you're a writer wondering if it's all worth it, read this book. a lovely book for people who say they "can't write!" The woman who wrote this book will make you believe that you CAN write, that writing in your own voice is what makes you a compelling writer, and that your story - told in your own way of writing - will be interesting to the reader. This book doesn't address "good" and "proper" grammar. She simple welcomes you to write. It's lovely. It's about more than writing. It's about being true to yourself and respecting your creative self. I've given copies away because I love it so much. The only thing I feel sad about with this edition is that there is no photograph of the writer. The older versions have her picture. She's amazing with wrinkles and wild hair and a beautiful smile. I loved the book for that picture alone and I will be searching used book stores for the older version and will undoubtedly give this new book away too. Excellent motivator This book is so inspiring, you can't help but start your career as a writer... | | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
