Summary of this Book...
Orson Scott Card is the highly acclaimed author of Enders Game and many other great works. With the release of Characters & Viewpoints Mr. Card has generously opened his mind and let his knowledge spill forth unto the writing community.
Three parts separate Characters & Viewpoint: Inventing Characters, Constructing Characters and Performing Characters, and each part is comprised of various informative chapters.
In part one: Inventing Characters, Orson Scott Card starts out with “What Is a Character?” In this first chapter, Mr. Card sets the tone for the staggering information that this book is yet to present. Motive, The Past, Reputation, Stereotypes, Habits and Patterns are explored before moving on to chapter
Two, ‘What Makes a Good Fictional Character?’
As you can see, these first two chapters alone are worth the price of the book. We have not even scratched the surface, yet we have consumed a wealth of knowledge.
There are so many helpful, informative chapters; I do not have the time to write about all in detail. I would suggest buying a copy of this great book as soon as possible. No matter what level your writing at, this book will prove to be of some use. I would like to take this time to thank Orson Scott Card for sharing is knowledge and time with all us struggling writers.
