Monkeys with Typewriters

I haven‰ЫЄt read many how-е_to writing books, so my reading was not comparative to other books of this kind that are out there, which I am assured is many. I thought it was very helpful and wellе_-organized. The tone was mostly conversational which I found nice. I actually did one of the exercises, which ended up being kind of illuminating. There was quite a lot of repetition throughout the book, but I found that helpful in a hammerе_-it-home kind of way. I‰ЫЄve read a lot of the books she uses as examples, which probably made a big difference. I like that she used films to illustrate some of her points (particularly Adaptation) because I find movie details easier to remember than details from novels. I feel like this would be a good book to revisit after getting enough distance from writing something to see if there are parts that can be tightened and sharpened in various ways.
