Title: Don't Waste your Time or Your Money
Review: If you are a writer, you'll get nothing from this book except the satisfaction of contributing a royalty to Ms. Berg. She, obviously, was one of the lucky ones. She wrote homilies about her children which she sold to an equally saccharine female Editor of a Woman's Magazine. Duh!Since she has nothing of value to offer an aspiring author and had a certain number of pages to fill, she wraps up this volume with a "true confession" of a friend she alienated, and FOOD RECIPES, for God's sake!Spend you money on any book by Martin Cruz Smith, Nelson DeMille, Lawrence Block, James Lee Burke, Andrew Klavin or James Hall. Use them as "textbooks" to learn how to write. Leave Ms. Berg's time-killer for any rainy afternoon when you need a sleeping aid. Better yet, it makes a fine door stop.
