      This is sure to be an often checked reference book when writing trying to write that oft thought about novel. There's a lot of really good info here.
      If I have a criticism it would be that the examples used are either a) overly long, and b) fromt eh author's own works on many occasions. That didn't really sit too well for me. Would prefer that the examples were all "neutral" so to speak.
