I found this book to be beneficial in how to write dialogue, especially since this was something I was trying to work on.

However, other reviews stated the same thing I noticed about how this book is made up of articles written by different several people, and a lot of information was repeated. It helped to get you on the same page with what they were saying, but, unfortunately, started to be redundant.
I think it could have been edited a little bit better to avoid that, but overall I rate 4/5, and would recommend.

Repetitive - a collection of essays by different authors, who often covered the same territory. Mostly I read through the examples of excerpted dialogue, but a lot of them weren't super helpful in explaining why this piece of dialogue was good, or the excerpt was so short it lacked emotional punch because it was incomprehensible.
