Title: Great Book for Both Writers AND Readers!
Review: Lamott shows by example what good, even gifted, writing is; her writing is accessible and expressive. she is a bright writer who is not afraid to show her imperfections or to reveal her fears. This book is a practical guide for writers and those wanting to write. Bird by Bird, though, is far from the usual dry and academic writing manual filled with how to's. It is about a writer's passion, and therefore is inspiring. It is also highly entertaining, and it is for those who appreciate good writing and want to know more about the guts of the process. It is for those who read, not simply for those who seek to begin or improve their own craft.
