Book Reviews of Dynamic Characters
Book Review: A Must-Have for any Fiction Writer
Summary: 5 Stars
Drag out the highlighters, get comfortable and go to work. This book is filled with valuable information and instruction on characterization and how to keep a story moving. It explains how your characters can either make or kill a plot and how a character you love can still be a dud. I recommend purchasing this book as opposed to getting it from your local library. There are things in this book that you will refer to again and again. The Intelligent Dossier itself is worth the price of it.
Although it took me a bit of time to get through it (because I was highlighting and re-reading things), it was written with humor and a vast amount of examples. You can put the things you learn to work today. You may not want to finish the book because of the ideas you get but do yourself a favor and finish it. It is so worth it.
