Title: A Life Lesson..........
Review: There are plenty of reviews on this book and I won't try to read them all. I found the manuscript to be quite an excellent guide in the manner that we writer's might go about putting a story together. It focuses on thinking in writer's terms and at the end you will have a basic idea of how to composite a written work together. Mind you that these 'lessons', if they could be called that, are based on basic story construction, not necessarily confined to the graphic novel. In the end, however, Alan contradicts his earlier words with what seemed to be a post-written apology, that reeked of 'Lessons from the Frontlines'....At first, my impression was that if he was going to put this conclusion in, then why did I buy the book and what value did I glean from it? He answers that as well. In a nutshell..."Be original, be creative...keep your audience guessing..."
Is the review positive or negative?
