Reader comments
I have learned a lot. I hope more people will read this book, stick to their dream of writing, and write their own bestsellers. The world is beautiful because of literature, and because some people teach us to write this way. Only then will we write more profound works.
This book is very practical, and the author's writing style is simple and easy to understand, just like a caring friend talking to you. The suggestions in the book are very specific and easy to understand through case analysis. It reminds me of "Writing Lessons from Masters", both of which are good books on writing. Moreover, Mathieson is like a mentor in the book, guiding you more and more steadily on the road of writing. Recommended to friends who want to improve their writing skills!
