Fantastically Short and to the Point
I was looking for a book to recommend to someone who wants to write, but is not a big reader and eschews fluff of any kind in instructional material. This is the book for him. It gives great advice and covers the basics of what is necessary to write a book in a year. The narrator is excellent and adds another dimension to the writing. I heartily recommend this to you if you have similar characteristics as my new writer friend.

Practical Advice
This book does exactly what it promises to do: to encourage and instruct one to write their first novel. If you’re looking for an erudite tome with deep literary ponderings this is not it. On the other hand, if you are serious about writing your first novel and want practical advice from someone who has done it twenty seven times, this is the book. It is short, to the point and filled with little gems that will save you a lot of trouble and make your writing much more effective.

shorter than i expected
it had some good information, but not as much as I thought. i wasn't a book, it was more the length of a essay.
