Let me summarize this book briefly:
"Blah, blah, blah, increase drama... blah, blah, blah, increase suspense... blah, blah, blah, hook the reader... blah, blah, blah..."
There are plenty of examples throughout this book, although some are really unclear, but the author takes no time in dissecting them other than to say, "See, this excerpt illustrates my point." The general high level points the author makes are supportive of concepts taught by many other professional writers and writing coaches of speculative fiction, but many of the limited details, tricks, and tips seem to illustrate what other successful professionals have labeled as "bad advice" and "do not's of writing". This book does not explain the how's and the why's of the author's illustrated techniques, just the what's and the when's. There is no advice on how to learn to use the described techniques, no pro's for or con's against the various techniques, no potential pitfalls that these techniques can get the writer into, and generally nothing that even an experienced reader of fiction wouldn't be able to figure out on their own. This book appears to contain mostly general common sense for writing speculative fiction.
As the title of this review states, this book is not worth the time or the money. You would be better served reading other quality books on writing speculative fiction such as Jack M. Bickham's title, Scene and Structure.

This is the first book I've read from the "Elements of Fiction Writing" series, and I can't say I'm very impressed. The first couple of chapters were very annoying. Basically, Noble keeps writing that, to create suspense, you need to EMPHASIZE things. You need to employ wods that NO ONE EVER USES in order to seem original. You need to OVERUSE ITALICS. You get the idea. I completely disagree with this approach, because such prose seems forced and jarring. The examples Noble gives are also not very enlightening, as the "bad" ones are so horribly contrived that you have to be TRYING to sound awful to think of them, and the "good" ones aren't that enthralling either. In the later chapters, the book improves somewhat, giving more examples of methods to create suspense and action. Still, these are not terribly insightful and most could come up with these ideas on their own by reading a few action and suspense novels - plus they'd get to read the novels, rather than an annoying book which seems to be written by one of those guys who thinks that if you repeat something often enough and with enough ITALICS, it might actually work.
