This really is one of the most interesting books that I read. A walk through the literature, an explanation of some literary devices, all has nothing to do with a manual, rather it is a literary work in itself. The choice of novelists that made the author to illustrate his point, he decodes and writing finesse, without it ever done in the "I understood everything" and "this is how it works". Beautiful styling, simply. Just to talk makes me want to read it again.
