This short book has already helped me greatly in my writing.As the author succintly points out, details help you: Develop your characters; Paint a better picture of the settings; Show (rather than tell) emotions; Adjust the pace of your story; and most importantly, Help to get your readers invested in the story.She goes far beyond the superficial "five senses" of details to give writers effective tools.I found her examples, and her examination of them, to be very useful in fully understanding her points.In particular, I commend the section on when, how and why to 'tell', 'show' or use a 'blended' approach.Read this book!
