The Key: How to Write Damn Good Fiction Using the Power of Myth
James N. Frey

St. Martin's Griffin, 2002

Don't be misled by the title....
...this is not a book on writing Myths. Rather, it is a book explaining how humans have for millenia crafted great stories using mythic structure, stories that appeal to countless generations, even into modern times. Did you know that "Columbo" can be explained via ...

a good follow up to 'A Million Little Pieces'
'My Good Friend Leonard' is sort of the "next chapter(s)" in the story of James Frey after his stint in rehab. The story starts off right after he gets out of rehab. The beginning is about Lilly. The rest of the book is about him just getting his life back together ...

It's like taking a writing course

How to Write a Damn Good Mystery: A Practical Step-by-Step Guide from Inspiration to Finished Manuscript
James N. Frey

St. Martin's Press, 2004

How to Avoid Writing a Pot-Boiler
As a self-confessed collector of books on writing, I found this one of the best of a very few such books that I have found merit the title of "most helpful and clear" how-to volumes. Frey is blunt, sometimes funny, always informative, and, for anyone thinking of ...

Bright Shiny Morning
James Frey

Harper, 2008

So Shoot Me: I Enjoyed It
There's been a lot of negative ink about Frey's latest book, probably people who are mad at him for having betrayed Oprah. This effort is huge in scope. It's influenced by the movie CRASH (which is one of my favorites) and in a way I saw echoes of SPOON RIVER ...
  
  











  



  
How to Write a Damn Good Novel, II: Advanced Techniques For Dramatic Storytelling
James N. Frey

St. Martin's Press, 1994

Like a writing class
As I mentioned in my review for How to Write a Damn Good Novel I, this book transports you into a writing class. The way the author lays out the concepts and principles for writing fiction is very easy to understand, and it is backed up with examples that actually ...

Recounted in visceral, kinetic prose, and crafted with a forthrightness that rejects goodness, cynicism, and self-pity, it brings us face-to-face with a provocative new understanding of ...
  
  











  



  
Gift of the White Light: The Strange and Wonderful Story of Annette Martin, Psychic
James N. Frey

Quill Driver Books, 2008

If You're Not a Believer You Will Be
As a professional psychic myself I approach these books with a lot of skepticism. This is a wonderful and inspirational read. It is also informational. You really learn and experience through Annette's eyes what being a psychic detective feels like. More than ...

Marc Joseph: American Pitbull
James Frey

Steidl, 2005

Wonderful Book
I read some of the reviews and was a little hesitant to get it, but I am glad I did. I am devoted to the breed and have been for over 10 years, I've owned rescue Bull Dogs and have purchased pups from breeders too. I do everything I can to portray and present these ...
