Title: Failed Aims
Product review: I started reading _The Writer's Handbook_ with great expectations and ended up disappointed.While the author tries to appeal both the novices and the veterans alike, he fails in both accounts.For a veteran writer looking for a precise and practical guide, this book is too verbose, too repetitive, and needlessly redundant.For a novice looking for help, her situation is far worse. Immediately she will be confused by all the things the author throws at her. All these talks about archetypes, psychological functions, and dramatic functions without any concrete examples (with detailed analysis) are mind boggling. Going through the journey without a comprehensive case study is disorientating.The book is further hampered by the lack of an index, a more comprehensive bibliography, errors in mythology, and the totally distracting bit about the Seekers.
