A perfect resource for aspiring and established writers!.......2007-04-11

I put this book to use the very same week I bought it. One of my creative writing students at the local university where I teach was having problems writing dialogue. When I met with him, I brought along my "Building Blocks" book. In addition to what I had to say, it was great to offer him the advice of some of my favorite writers, including Charles Baxter, Amy Bloom and Dick Bausch. I felt as though I was leading him down the corridors of the ultimate English department, and every door was open.

The excerpts are golden nuggets of writing wisdom: short, conversational and enlightening. I'll definitely consider using this book as a required course text in the future. It covers everything I need to address in my writing class: point of view, voice, place and setting, character, description, use of language, dialogue, etc. - without sounding repetitive or pedantic. The variety of voices, perspectives, interviews and excerpts keep the topics interesting and fresh.

As a writer myself, I've found that the book offers more than just "building blocks." I turn to the book when I'm feeling stuck, and when I need to get a fresh perspective on the craft. It's often helpful to remind myself that even the best writers experience roadblocks and frustrations. Unlike a lot of books on writing, this one tells it like it is, while at the same time offering helpful strategies and techniques -- from writing a novel for the first time to paragraph breaks and punctuation.

Excellent guide to writing fiction! A Must Have!.......2006-12-08

I am absolutely thrilled with my copy of The Glimmer Train Guide to Writing Fiction! To see "inside the head" for so many esteemed writers is valuable beyond words. The back cover says, "Many writing books offer instruction and inspiration, but never before has one pulled back the curtain and laid bare before you the joys, frustrations, struggles, and achievements of the literary life -- as experienced by more than one hundred accomplished writers." How very true! Anyone who is a writer, aspires to be a writer, and anyone who just plain enjoys reading will find this book to be a treasure. This book is a definite "must have!"

Glimmer Train features up and coming talented writers, and boy have they have one in Daniel Wallace. What a great writer. The folks at the Train have the ability to spot talent, so look for these authors elsewhere for other good reads. This is the new crop of the biggies. Especially Wallace. A++

Art imitating life?.......2007-01-28

I haven't read this book, but in real life the author shortly after writing this book ran into some spy problems with the Iranians, while cruising with her boat off the coast of Iran.

Art imitating life? Or life imitating art?

Book Description

Buy low.
Sell high.
Get out alive.

Money is Sarah Jensen's playground.  International markets.  She's one of the most successful foreign-exchange traders in London; brilliant, beautiful, unpredictable--the perfect undercover agent to infiltrate the cutthroat Inter-Continental Bank and investigate questionable trading practices for the governor of the Bank of England.  Her target is Dante Scarpirato, a smooth, arrogant highstakes trader who's making a killing in--and out of--the market. For Sarah, the ultimate risk-taker, he's the ultimate risk....

But the multimillion-dollar trading scheme she penetrates is only the tip of an international conspiracy, paid for in the currency of blood.  Now Sarah, the hunter, is hunted, dangerous prey, determined to bring down the officials who betrayed her--and the assassins who have her in their sights....

Sarah Jensen returned from lunch at two-thirty.  She took her seat at her trading desk and studied her four trading screens intently for five minutes.  Then she picked up her telephone handset and executed a quick trade, closing out a position.  It took thirty seconds.  It made half a million pounds.

With a smile and a flourish she switched off her screens, gathered up her handbag, and prepared to leave.  David Reed, her colleague who sat next to her, looked up in surprise.

"You can't leave now.  It's just two-thirty."

Sarah laughed and blew him a kiss as she headed off.

"Watch me." And they did.  Half the trading floor followed her progress as she crossed the room and disappeared into the lifts.

At twenty-seven, Sarah Jensen had all the trappings of a normal life, albeit at a rarefied level.  She was smart and beautiful.  She was one of the top foreign-exchange traders in the City of London.  She lived in a big house in Chelsea with her brother and her boyfriend.  She had looks, love, and money. But she also had fear.

Customer Reviews:

wonderful woman.......2007-01-05

In the opening pages of the novel, Linda Davies' character Sarah Jensen is pronounced "perfect" by the Director of the Bank of England. This means trouble. Smart and strong (physically & emotionally) women are Davies' speciality. See also Widerness of Mirrors with its Vietnam setting and Into the Fire, for a breath-taking trip to Manchu Pichu.

nb Get the Brit edition if you can, where the female hit-person is a lesbian. The American edition morphs her straight. Shades of Jerry Falwell?

Not so hot........2005-02-12

This book features Sarah Jensen, a young, gorgeous, exceedingly bright (When are we going to have a book about an ugly, old not-so-bright heroine?) currency trader who is asked by the British version of the Federal Reserve President to go undercover at a trading house and see if they are using inside information to make millions of pounds. Much trouble ensues.

The female lead is a little too well-connected (she always knows just the right person to help her when she needs something) and I was kind of bugged that the characters used dollars and pounds interchangeably in their financial wheelings and dealings. Maybe that's the reality of international currency exchange and the power of the United States. If so, "Go USA!"

Back to the book - It's better than reading nothing, but you might want to read an old National Geographic instead.

exciting and thrilling.......2004-01-11

great story line, couldn't guess the ending. A pleasure to read!

This is the worst book ever written........2001-10-18

Sarah Jensen is young brilliant and mysterious, just the sort of person the authorities need to penetrate a byzantine conspiracy involving the global currency market. However, the conspiracy is just the tip of a deadlier plot, one that will take any step needed to protect itself from disclosure. Okay.....

This has to be one of the worst books ever written. The author injects much experience into her character - perhaps too much. (like her heroine, author Linda Davies is a striking and apparently successful currency trader). The book is written not only for those who understand the dynamics of currency trades, but really care beyond the obvious implication that the millions at stake are really important. For the rest of us, Sarah is just a cardboard character, surrounded by jealous colleagues who desire her for her looks and envy her knack for amassing a lot of money in a short amount of time. The facets of the conspiracy are poorly defined. The novel really never starts at all - just cuts between various shadowy characters who stand to make or lose fortunes, and will stoop to anything. Davies spends much time on telling us how unsavory some of these types are, but doesn't really care about what they do. What really stands out is how seriously Davies takes not only the premise but her storytelling skills. This is just another example of the sort of thriller we can thank Grisham for inventing - the guy who discovers that his lucrative but humdrum job actually veils something dark and interesting. Instead of lawyers, we have currency speculators. I suppose accountants are next (hey - CPA's sent Capone to Alcatraz!!). As long as readers are willing to believe that an author's experience on any subject is adequate substitue for storytelling - willing to accept minutiae in place of narrative - there will always be writers ready with books so enwrapped in meaningless technicalities that we won't realize how bereft of plot they really are. Absurdly pedestrian prose don't help. If I were in the business, I'd say this book was pegged to some defunct former east-bloc currency.

I'd suggest something lighter, like Po Bronson's "Bombardiers", a sort of M*A*S*H set in a San Francisco bond house where the most certifiably crazy brokers are also the richest.

ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS I EVER READ!!.......2001-04-29

I read this book in a day, and I just couldn't put it down. I really enjoyed the female heroine. I used to be a stockbroker in Denver, and really enjoyed the female heroine, and the vicarious thrills of her life!!!
