 Build Great Characters March 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Just as the title of the book says, "Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint," every book has them, and many of them. This book explains exactly how to create various characters, the different emotions that they may convey throughout your story, and the different viewpoints that may be utilized to make your writing more effective. This is a "must have" for anyone thinking of writing fiction, as are all of the books in this series. These books are worth every cent. I read all of them before I even started writing, and am glad I did, because now everything makes a lot more sense. Instead of being in a boat without a paddle, now at least I have a paddle.
 Not my first choice January 17, 2008

Orson Scott Card's book Characters & Viewpoint is better, as that book actually shows how to go about creating likable characters, and which characters fit with which stories. This book has some good tips on how to bring emotion into your scenes, but other than that's it's a little too thin. Start with Card first.
Elegant explanations and examples September 27, 2007

This guide was an easy read since the subject was broken into easy pieces for digestion. I was especially pleased with the literary examples of many classic and contemporary authors, which made obvious the understanding of principles explained in each chapter. This book substantially lifted my confidence in fiction writing technique.
As great as the first book! Get this one too! August 24, 2007

This is just as great as the first book, Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell. If you liked the first one- you will love this! It really helps you to find your characters and its interesting to read.
Unlike Plot and Structure, Character Emotions and Viewpoint does have a few swear words in their examples. I dont like those, but if you want to understand this topic its worth it!
Loads of information and very easy read . . . July 25, 2007
This book is loaded with great information for all those aspiring authors who need a hand with developing memorable characters. It's very helpful and an extremely easy read.
