YA-- Reed's book gives concrete examples of how to write a specific scene or develop a character or situation. For those with some experience, Roth's book is a real gem. There are all kinds of lists of terminology, ideas, skills, settings, themes, etc., for unlimited genres of fiction. Both ask questions to make writers think about what they are doing, how they are doing it, and where they are going. Teenagers will love Roth's book; there are more lists than text. Reed's title, on the other hand, will require more intensive reading. Both are useful in their own right. --Margie Jones, Herndon Int., Fairfax, VA
