compassion and too complex ruins comedy. I find it ties back to what most writing books do which is talk about conflict. his breakdowns at the ends are pretty cool although almost none of the examples I have read (maybe says more about me then the book though) the bit at the end on writing if you were the character was splitting hairs as I think anyone who has tried to write knows that all the charters are different versions of themselves. but a good reminder.

This book is more than just about dialogue. It's about character, action, reaction, and narrative drive, and how all of it is deeply rooted in what character choose to say or not say.
This one took a bit to get into, but when it got going it was an unstoppable whirlwind of excellent craft tips with accompanying examples. I'll likely need to come back in a year or so to catch all that I missed.

Pretty good craft book. Only complaint is that there wasn't enough exercises.
