Summary of this Book...
Nancy Kress takes you through the entire process of writing. She illustrates how easy it is to get stuck when the answer is right in front of you.

Readers learn how to make their story jump off the page, right from the first paragraph to the explosive conclusion.
This type of Book is good for...
New authors, but it's a good boost for an experienced writer.
I didn't like...
The author overuses fiction classics to illustrate points. A heavy dose of examples slowed the book. My chain of thought was continually interrupted.

I did not like the author's style.
It's a common sense book and not much more.
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to...
Add it to my collection of "how to" books and put it at the bottom.
The author of this Book...
Nancy Kress
I recommend this Book because...
Anyone can benefit from reading this; it's a matter of degree and interest.
I don't recommend this Book because...
The book gives exactly what the title offers. Beginnings, middles and ends, and not much more. As a semi-experienced writer, I read through it once and put it away.
Further Comments...
The Kindle version was downloaded with no issues.
