Title: A few good nuggets in a dense, dry book.
Product review: This book focuses heavily on the writing process; it discusses pre-writing, free writing, revising, and editing at great length. But it does not discuss them in a brief or interesting way. I found the text sometimes repetitive, sometimes wordy, and frequently dry.Plus, the non-process writing advice is either highly abstract or narrowly focused on a hypothetical scenario used throughout the book. So the advice is less than helpful in many respects. And though the text contains some gems, they are usually buried in long, dense paragraphs or blurred by a stiff and formal tone.
