Book Reviews of Write Great Fiction - Dialogue (Write Great Fiction)
Book Review: A whole book, when one chapter would do.
Summary: 3 Stars
Although this book has some gems on how to write dialogue, I found it too long for the job that it had to do. There is too much repetition and really this should not be a whole book, but merely one chapter of a book on creative writing.
I found Gloria Kempton's style a little irritating, where she used too much first person narrative: 'I like this...'. 'I do this...', 'I see new writers make a lot of mistakes when it comes to writing emotional dialogue...' etc.
