When you're a wordy person you always think to yourself !"I could write a book" or "That'd be a great idea for a book". But not many of us are brave enough to put pen to paper and actually write it down.

This book, although slim, is actually packed full for information, things to ponder and ideas to mull over.  The tone of the book feels very informal and reads almost like a conversation between the author and the reader.  The wee quips every so often really tempers the information overload.

As a bit of a Classicist and Ancient History buff I already knew quite a lot about Aristotle and Co but I had read very few of his actual works.  The way the chapters were broken down into nuggets to improve your writing - such as characters, plot, writing style, what scenes are probable, which relationships bolster your characters, etc - all helps to get your brain to think about YOUR style of writing and book and less about what others do.
