Title: chapter on "subtlety" worth the book
Product review: I found the first four-fifths of the book too obvious to be of any value, but the last fifth (on scene setting, pace and progression, etc.) was indeed valuable, and the chapter on "subtlety" worth the price of the book, and more, all by itself. Probably my background as a copy editor and my newness as a fiction writer accounts for my reactions. When I read the chapter on subtlety, I thought, "I should have known this!" but I didn't know it, at least not thoroughly enough, and I'm grateful to have read it.
