Abeer Muhammad abeermuhamfa22 — How I Came To Read This Book: I spied it on a fellow Good Reader's to read list and picked it up from the library. The Plot: This book essentially tells wannabe writers (and avid readers) that the best way to appreciate writing is by close reading and focusing on the details that make great writing what it is. Through the analysis of everything from gesture and dialogue to sentence and narration, Prose explores how varied good writing is - but drives home the fact the details are what matter both on the reader and writer's end. The Good & The Bad: This was a great book, relatively easy to read even when some of the sample passages were a bit long or dry, and it offered lots of constructive advice (almost too much to digest admittedly) that all boiled down to the fact selective details are critical to good writing. I'd be quite tempted to actually go out and buy a copy of the book if only so I could reference certain sections and suggestions when writing in a certain style. The only downsides would be the end drags on quite a bit - there are about 3-4 sections that easily could have been the end of the book and felt a bit like filler. Also, while the advice is the book when broken down is helpful, it also makes for a slightly repetitive read. By the end you'll probably feel like enough already! That being said, this is a great resource for writers in particular and will definitely influence my close reading in the future. The Bottom Line: Better for writers than readers, but insightful nonetheless. Anything Memorable: Coincidentally the next book in my to read pile is The Great Gatsby, which is referenced for 'setting' in this book. 50-Book Challenge: Book #35 in 2009.

Roberto Gallotta rgallotta — At the beginning there were a lot of characters that I was trying to remember who was who but it didn't take long to get used to them. Overall, I enjoyed this book. It was a cute, feel-good book.
