This book, as the title says, is a collection of essays, which were written under a variety of circumstances. The background/origin of each is provided and this explains the varying style. There is also so update information at the end of a few, as many were written quite a few years ago.
Overall, I gained quite a few insights and it has made me think about writing and storytelling in a different way. I would recommend it to any aspiring writer. It was also interesting to get the author’s views on various topics, including education and religion; in most cases, he aligns with my opinions.
If I have any criticism of the book, I’d say it is a little long - a bit of culling might have been good. There are also a few examples of repetition, but I guess that was inevitable, given the essays’ origins.
