REVIEW :
I found it helpful as a suplement to "A Pattern Language". This was a great birthday book for my little girl.. Mind you, it's good information, but the focus has shifted. Whelan nail the basic elements of a good narration: differentiated character voices, good timing, and well acted scenes; but Ms. Once Connor found Kate she was in such a drug induced deep sleep that Connor was afraid she may never wake. Have not received a response from Amazon.. I got so annoyed at this guy that I promised myself if he did it one more time, I was done with him. I used this for our homeschooling middle school/high school history text. It is well written with tons of examples. One great strength of this book is the highly useful Practice Tips interspersed throughout the book. Debussy is so repetetive, the writing has ABSOLUTELY no form and it just hammers a point to death.
