Title: Everyone has Opinions
Review: Mr.Bickham doesnt waste any time in establishing his viewpoints about fiction. At best, this book is a grab bag of advice. On some points he is very clear and concise, and the essence of the advice he presents is beneficial. Then there are the other bits of wisdom that fall quite short. In my experience, just about every book on fiction writing is different. Some will give you flat out "rules" for how to write quality fiction, while others tell you that there are "no guidelines or formulas" for how to write great fiction. Mr.Bickham seems to have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of fiction writing, but his abrupt style and questionable advice offset any real instruction this book could offer. There are better books on fiction writing out there, spend an extra ten minutes and explore your other options.
