This book contains plenty of advice on writing, but it's nothing you haven't heard before. The author contradicts himself several times. For instance, at one point he tells you not to rewrite until you've finished the first draft. Later he tell you the exact opposite. Most of what this book has going for it, in my opinion, is just the clever title. There are plenty of better books out there on the craft of writing fiction.
