This wasn't quite what I was expecting, probably because I'm in the process of “revising” a draft of a novel into something that I hope will be publishable. But the book is more about choices writers make in creating whole new versions of a work, or that OTHER artists make when adapting the work. That's a whole different kind of revision, and while it's really interesting, it's maybe not as useful to writers who are revising their own work as they might wish. Wonderfully written, though, as you'd expect from Davies.
