The writing is excellent!!! The story is thrilling and full of scandal.

The movie did NOT do this book justice.

Odd but good. Written from different points of view. My favorite is that of the Ukranian translator who makes use of an English thesaurus extensively in his writing.

Very practical guide to writing. Not just theory but how to actually sit down and write something - edit it - and finish.

Easy to read.
