The Emotion Thesaurus

A Writer's Guide to Character Expression

2012 • 304 pages

A solid book. Kicks off with some concrete and succinct advice and then becomes a valuable reference book. I bought it looking for more handholding than it gives, but it's really geared to be a reference versus a huge book of examples. Which is probably more valuable long term. This is an excellent resource. I suspect it will be quite dogeared in no time.

Four stars cuz ... well, I only give five stars to certain rare books, or books that mean something exceptional to me. Depending on how much I use this over time, I can see it becoming a five-star book.
