 not worth buying July 20, 2008
If you are just starting to write and have never read a reference/how to book then maybe Binchy's book could be useful to you. Otherwise there are many better ones around. I have borrowed this from my library too and I am glad I haven't bought it.
terrible June 20, 2008

I have to agree with the other two reviewers of this book - I expected much more from this popular author. I found it unpleasantly patronising "this is a nice little book.We mustn't waste it." And "there are some pieces of my own,deeply wise advice scattered about" Nothing like blowing your own trumpet ! And both of the above examples are only from page 3!!! In addition 90% of the advice was only useful if you happened to be living in Ireland; most of the "expert advice" was also from her fellow countrymen/women. I was also fascinated that although there were chapters on mens fiction, murder mysteries .writing for the stage writing for children and writing comedy there was nothing about Maeve's own writing. Maybe she wants to keep her secrets to herself !
I am glad that I borrowed this from the library before I spent good money on it ! And 10.99 for a book of only 160 odd pages seems to be vastly overpriced ! Don't waste your cash!!!
A Far Cry June 4, 2008

What a disappointing read, a far cry from what I was expecting from such an established author. I was hoping to be inspired and amused but was left still wanting by the end of this book. I found Wannabe A Writer? by Jane Wenham-Jones far more inspiring and entertaining!!

Thought this would be useful.....however it is very disappointing (despite a rave review in the Times which made me buy this! There are far better books/websites out there.........spend your money on something else!!
