Title: One sentence says it all?
Product review: First sentence, third paragraph, chapter 1 ("Presentation"):"It is a shame that small - and easily preventable - surface errors can be determinants for an entire book, can premamaturely take you from being taken seriously." Premamaturely??Okay, with some writers that would be intentional and humorous. Or it may be the publisher's fault. Unfortunately, this sentence also has a sample of the real problem. Anybody who uses a word like "determinant" when they're not writing about mathematics is more than a little bit pompous.This is not an easy or enjoyable book to read, and the advice seems to be pretty basic - more tips from Chapter 1 include "don't send an agent the only existing copy of your story" and "realize that Stephen King will have less trouble selling his next book than you will selling your first one". Gosh, really?
