Stein on Writing Audiobook

" Awesome book! As a writer of both fiction and nonfiction I found numerous ways to improve my writing. I listened to the audiobook and many times I found myself rethinking parts of my novel while listening to Stein's advice. So much so, that I had to rewind and relisten (after jotting down my notes, that is). A great book for any writer! "

" the best book i've read on writing. great ideas given in such a way that you can immediately apply them to your work. "

" I don't necessarily agree with the author's perspective, and there is some inappropriate content, but his ideas about writing good dialogue and keeping a story moving are worth very much to a writer. "

" I'm about halfway through this book and pretty disappointed with it so far, though it was recommended by a writer I respect. Stein's examples of "good" writing seem pretty hacky to me and often when he's explaining something, his logic seems really flawed to me. Still plugging through it. "

" This is what a writing class should be- but almost never is. Stein taught me more about writing than anything since...reading! For fiction writers of all genres I cannot recommend the book highly enough. (Nonfiction help is included as well, but as I'm not a nonfiction writer, I cannot comment on that.) "

" It's all about character eccentricity. "

" This How-To book is nearly 20 years old, but still has good writing advice. Recommended for writers. "

" I bought this over a year ago and finally finished reading it today. An excellent book about the craft of writing. "

" Interesting, entertaining, provocative. Started reading, but then it was due in the library and I haven't gone back. Should I? I keep thinking about it. Stein has a wealth of experience and is a good storyteller. It was motivating to me when I needed to get started writing. "

" Stein broadly covers the plethora of writing topics with great skill and knowledge. However, he doesn't cover many items deeply. If you need a good reveiw or overview of writing principles for fiction and non-fiction, this will do. "

" If you read only one DIY on writing--this is the one. "

" A bit too gimmicky and formulaic for my taste but not bad for beginners. His section on love scenes is worth reading. "

" This is an excellent book for a writer, packed with all kinds of useful and helpful bits of advice, techniques and anecdotes. I need to buy my own copy so I can underline and re-read. "

" This I have on audio, along with a hardback copy from the library. Good reference book, but becoming a bit outdated. "
