I couldn't decide between four and five stars so I clicked, with my eyes closed, somewhere between the stars. Well, five it is!
Very practical, very useful, very much not intimidating.

Review of 'Kannibaalikirja - Kirjoituksia ihmissyönnin historiasta' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Ihan viihdyttävä, jos nyt kannibalismista kertovasta kirjasta voi noin sanoa (miksei voisi?). Fiktioluettelon, no, luettelomaisuus pudotti yhden tähden pois.

Naava reviewed Save the Cat! Writes a Novel by Jessica Brody
Review of 'Save the Cat! Writes a Novel' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I think I've read too many writing books recently. That could explain the 4/5 rating I gave. Because I honestly think this is a 5/5 book.
I'm not making a lot of sense, am I?
I enjoyed the book, but it just... didn't feel like "enough" for me. I don't know. It's way past my bedtime, why am I trying to write a review? Read this book and write your novel, stop reading my nonsense.
Naava reviewed 27 Essential Principles of Story by Daniel Joshua Rubin

I received a free eARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you.
This was a very, very interesting read, and definitely useful. I guess most of all I enjoyed the mini exams, because they made the book more interactive, not just read read read, but actually read think read think read think.
I really feel like this book made me a better writer, my stories stronger, my prose more effective, and so forth. I loved how well the examples were analyzed and not just... thrown in there, like in some other books that try to achieve the same end.
I will definitely return to this book later on, just to refresh things, to gain a deeper understanding of some concepts. Some things just can't be deeply understood with one read-through. All in all, I would say that this book requires rereads, not because it's a hard …

All in all, I would say that this book requires rereads, not because it's a hard read, but because there's just so much stuff that... well... cannot be deeply understood the first time it's read.
