Review title: Creative Writing 101: Show, Don't Tell
Product review: I picked up this book fascinated by the story line on the back cover, but as I began to read, I found myself scratching my head in wonder. I felt as though the author had a severe case of ADD, and I had just spent 14.00 to be jarred around in this mysterious world of aimless thought. It was very disappointing. Honestly, I felt the author was trying to see how lyrical she could be with the English language rather than truly telling a story with depth.It's not good to assume your reader has no imagination, and frankly, defeats the purpose of writing to begin with (entertainment via fantasy). It's rather insulting to the reader, not to mention boring and monotonous, and ultimately makes for bad storytelling, in my opinion.In short, I found the author's writing style tedious and extreme which ultimately dampened the story and the characters.
