I love to write and have been doing as much as I can to learn
from as many sources as possible. So, I decided to give Writing
for Comics and Graphic Novels with Peter David a shot and see
if there was anything new that I could pick up on. If anything,
I like to see what other people's processes are, regarding how
they approach writers block, getting ideas, format, etc...
So, how was this book? Meh. It was okay. The thing about most
writing books is that they all come from the same place:
Aristotle, who created the Beginning, Middle and End or the 3
Act structure. Everyone since then had tried to come up with
their own variation. Some work, other don't. Overall, this book
glosses over a lot of stuff. I really didn't find a whole lot of
useful or new stuff that I didn't already know. The only
interesting thing within' the book were the parts showing actual
comic pages utilizing story and character structure. Other than
that, there's not a lot going for it. You are better off finding
books that go much deeper in theory and practical use then this
one.
It's an okay book. I just can't recommend this one at all.
3 Stars out of 5
