## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Inspiring and Practical
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2020*

An excellent book! I enjoyed the many examples of good dialogue, always accompanied by the author's reasons why it works or not. Not only was I inspired to apply these principles to a novel I was working on, but the author provided a number of tips for tightening up my prose. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Lucid, witty, straightforward advice
  

*by A***A on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2016*

No one expects a book about writing to be a fun read. This one is. Like Jane Smiley  in "Thirteen Ways to Read a Novel," Hough manages to be lucid, witty, and straightforward. And he pulls no punches. We learn what writers he enjoys and why he enjoys them (a fairly well-balanced mix of males and females). We discover with his help what works and what doesn't in dialogue. Most important, he does NOT show examples of bad dialogues; he shows what makes the good ones good and why. This, I appreciated. One thing I would have liked to know more about is something so basic, I'm sure most experienced writers don't think about it. The best dialogue probably begins with many so-so drafts as the writer "just gets it written." Eventually, it's ready for the fine-tuning Hough spells out for us in this concise, handy, well-organized book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
