I found a large portion of information in this book helpful. I find that when I write fight scenes, they often come out as clunky and awkward, so I was looking for some advice. I figured the book wasn't going to go too in depth, but it was actually more thorough than I thought.I do recommend this book to other writers who need help with fight scenes. I like the way the author gives advice on particular genres. One comment: often the author would give the reader clear and cut rules, which sometimes felt stifling. (NEVER do this; ALWAYS include this.) I also think it would make reading easier if the paragraphs were uniformly indented (minor issue) and if at the end of each chapter there was a link back to the table of contents. The author includes many youtube links to movies that give examples of what she's talking about. These are fun and helpful.Like I said, I found this book even more in depth than I expected and would recommend it to writers who specifically need help in fighting and battle scenes.
