Title: Yes, but how's it done?
Product review: The hardest thing for a writer is to show not tell - great title, but the author in this slender book has failed completely in showing how it's done. This is my take.Tell: Amber was a very beautiful woman, tall and elegant. Men couldn't take their eyes off her.Show: As Amber entered the bar, every woman turned to watch her.Tell: John was a violent man and Mary had the bruises to prove it.Show: Mary heard the car pull up outside and looked round the kitchen to make sure everything was tidy. John hated mess. She took a cold beer from the fridge and glanced at herself in the mirror. The bruise under her right eye had almost healed.
