Book Reviews of How to Write a Thriller
Book Review: Strictly for thrills
Summary: 3 Stars
Well, this is one strictly for would be thriller writers and beginners and at that: There is little in this that you wouldn't find in any introduction to writing, just a brief (and idiosynchratic) coverage of the genre, interspersed with some basic writing tips.
Having said that, it is easy to read and the coverage of the basics got me thinking about somethings I'd maybe forgotten.
So if thrillers are your thing and you're new to writing then I'd recommend this one, otherwise there may be better books...
