Title: This book sucks
Product review: It is diificult to express how disappointed I was in this book. The author's fiction and poetry, which he quotes from ad nauseum, is mediocre, his prose turgid. The concept of this book, a book that discusses dialogue through dialogue is annoying and rambling. I read half-way through and gave up. The book imparted absolutely no practical advice and its theory was mere horse-sense, banal beyond belief. Why this book has gone through a re-release is beyond me. It should perish among remainders. See Sol Stein, who in a single chapter does more than Turco could dream of, or see the excellent "Writing Dialogue for Scripts" by Rib Davis for a real book on dialogue. This book is a waste of time and money.
