| 2. |  | Bright Shiny Morning from Harper Price: $17.79 Customer Review:  There's been a lot of negative ink about Frey's latest book, probably people who are mad at him for having betrayed Oprah. This effort is huge in scope. It's influenced by the movie CRASH (which is one of my favorites) and in a way I saw echoes of SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY and FERN HILL...only with... |

| 3. |  | How to Write a Damn Good Novel: A Step-by-Step No Nonsense Guide to Dramatic Storytelling (How to Write a Damn Good Novel) from St. Martin's Press Price: $13.57 Customer Review: I would recommend this book as a good reference. Frey fulfills his promise that the book is a "step-by-step no nonsense guide to dramatic storytelling." The title of chapter two gives a flavor of the book. "The Three Greatest Rules of Dramatic Writing: Conflict! Conflict! Conflict!" This... |

| 4. |  | My Friend Leonard from Riverhead Hardcover Price: $5.99 Customer Review:  Despite the fact of know that this book was a fiction, I read it. It was actually a lot better because it had scenarios where it could be completely believable that it was real. I think the guy who wrote this book, James Frey, made him popular, yes, but also because he let it slip that the story was... |

| 6. |  | How to Write a Damn Good Novel, II: Advanced Techniques For Dramatic Storytelling from St. Martin's Press Customer Review: I've read many books that give advice on writing novels. None are as good as this one. "How To" are the operative words here.

| 8. |  | The Key: How to Write Damn Good Fiction Using the Power of Myth from St. Martin's Griffin Price: $11.16 Customer Review: As both a author and reader of fiction I was impressed with The Key. I guess that I just like books that can hold my interest and make me think at the same time. I recommend this book. Time keeps me from writing a longer review but I wanted to get something posted.

| 9. |  | Fundamentals of Acoustics from Wiley Price: $113.37 Customer Review: This book is aimed squarely at engineering students who want to learn the mathematics of acoustics. There is very little in the realm of standing back and asking "So what does this all mean?". From the very first chapter the author dives into deriving equations that use calculus, Laplace transforms,... |

| 10. |  | Gift of the White Light: The Strange and Wonderful Story of Annette Martin, Psychic from Quill Driver Books Price: $16.50 Customer Review: As a professional psychic myself I approach these books with a lot of skepticism. This is a wonderful and inspirational read. It is also informational. You really learn and experience through Annette's eyes what being a psychic detective feels like. More than anything else I was impressed with... |
