Smashwords book reviews by JH Gordon

  • How to Avoid 10 Writing Misteaks: The Top 10 Fatal Errors Made by Novices Writing Fiction and Non-fiction on March 15, 2013

    The "10 writing mistakes to avoid" listed in this book are well described, with good examples that make clear the logic behind them. It also shows the ease with which these errors can happen to novice as well as experienced writers. This concise little guide is quick reading and a great addition to your toolbox I found the use of "misteaks" instead of "mistakes" to be a bit much and there are a number of small proofing errors that are noticeable only because it is about mistakes, otherwise it would be a 5 star.

    (no rating)
    Truly unique and creative story. I absolutely loved it and can't wait for this author's next work. As the first reviewer said that I'm sure will be a common threat through all reviews: "Brilliant concept" "fascinating to read" BRAVO.
  • Welcome to Dullsville on Feb. 02, 2014

    I really enjoyed this somewhat strange story. The descriptions of the characters and surroundings were so good you could almost smell the the people and feel the misty fog of Grayville on your face. But like life, there is no sugar coating, and you won't find a a nicely tied ribbon around the story at the end. It is more like a wet paper bag than a ribbon......as it should be. I look forward to the this authors future publications.
