While I appreciated all the short essays about the various authors and their central characters, I especially liked those which dealt with authors I have read. Would the narratives about the other authors convince me to read their output? Possibly, if I didn't have so many unread volumes in my library. So I will reluctantly say that I can't afford to start other series when I have so many unread in my home. I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in the process of writing about and generating a main character for a series.
