5 out of 5 stars This book is wonderful!   November 23, 1998
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

As a novice romance writer, this book has helped me tremendously with dialogue. I suggest any beginning writer invest in this literary wonder!


5 out of 5 stars A GEM OF A RESOURCE BOOK   April 18, 1998
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

It's unwise to judge a resource book by its size. This is never more apparent than with "The Romance Writer's Phrase Book". This perfect springboard to writer's developing phrases of their own, is not only a wonderful assistant to composition, but an entertaining read as well. A gem of a resource book. A superb addition to any writer's library.


5 out of 5 stars A wonderful resource!   May 5, 1999
6 out of 6 found this review helpful

This book is a wonderful resource, not only for romance writers, but for creative writers in general. Kent and Shelton provide phrases that are springboards for original ideas by the writer. The phrases are vivid and have saved me a lot of time I would have spent looking for the right phrase in a thesaurus.


5 out of 5 stars Very helpful tool to the aspiring romance writer.   April 9, 1998
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I have found this little book to be very helpful when my mind draws a blank on just the right phrase needed for a scene. By reading the phrases in the book so many more come to mind. I believe this is just what it was intended for. It is also very well laid out. I recommend it to anyone just starting out in the romance genre.


4 out of 5 stars I hate it, I love it, I loathe it, I use it   May 28, 1999
12 out of 13 found this review helpful

Don't give it as a gift. Really. This book is beyond insulting to a writer. But, is it useful? You better believe it! It's especially useful when your brain has just cramped up from writer's block; or, when you need just the right hue of green for the hero's eyes and all you can think of is "glittery mold". Save yourself from insult and be sure to buy this book before someone thinks it a kindness to buy it for you.
