Imagine going into an editorial meeting with a literary agent or publisher and discovering that the person across the table is J. Jonah Jameson, the cigar-toting, belligerent, crewcut who made Peter Parker’s life a misery as a freelance photographer for the Daily Bugle. JJ thrusts his clenched cigar at you and shouts, “High Impact!” It doesn’t really matter what advice you are about to receive. If you are doing X, do Y; if you are writing W, write Z; find your character’s key flaw, repeat it three times and then explode it; yes, explode it! Because what is wanted is high impact fiction.

Of course I have no idea what Donald Maass looks like or sounds like. I’m probably not the writer he is shouting at. (I don’t respond well to shouting.) But if you do see yourself as that writer, then this book will give you everything you are hoping for.

Not recommended for writers (or readers) like me. ( )

Brilliant

Another amazing Maass craft book. Others don't work well for me as they tend to focus on structure or slightly more formulaic writing aspects. Maass though is basically analysing a series of best sellers and teaching you to spot patterns in how they're written, then providing suggestions for implementing that in your own work. Much like EMOTIONAL CRAFT OF FICTION, the only other craft book I've read which happens to also be by Maass, I will return to this many times I'm sure. ( )

Sometimes one more book can be one book to many.
In its favour, in a niche that is often populated my many cookie-cutter help guides, this book does cover new and different territory. Much of what is presented is worth consideration and may prove enlightening and help aspiring writers push their work to a better level.

After Larry Brooks book, I was inspired, clear of mind and purpose. However, after this book, my mind is cluttered and confidence is shot.

While Donald Maas raises some interesting points, I felt overall he presents the case for a story, so perfect as to be completely unattainable.

Thus I am torn on this work. Do I feel it helped or hindered? I don't know.

But it is solidly written, presented with little fuss, uses many examples which should be familiar to modern readers and provides a different view from other books in this genre. ( )
