      I couldn't make it more than ten minutes into this book. Unfortunately for a writing guide, the book itself was not well written. Worse, the suggestions given were shallow and unhelpful compared to several similar audiobooks available on Scribd. For example, in the section on developing story ideas, the author suggests taking plot points from comments left by readers on the aspiring author's blog. Not helpful.
