Rating: *
Hooked or Not:
Not hooked
My two cents:
Although this is one of my favorite books on writing, the first sentence doesn't do it justice. It is an instructional book after all. I was hooked by the introduction. Lamott's anecdotes provide more than just great tips on writing. Well worth the read for anyone looking to survive writer's block.
