I got very excited by the idea of a writer's guide written by dear Mr. Vonnegut. But he died in 2007 and this is no such thing; it is written by someone who lacks the late Kurt's credibilty but who apparently felt attending his workshops entitled her to claim this book as part of his canon, putting his name as lead author. If you want an actual writing guide from the master, google, “vonnegut how to write with style” for his two page essay which was used as the underpinning structure for this 400 pages of unnecessary rambling.

Pity the reader who wastes money on this book.
