3 1/2 stars for this collection of useful synonyms to help writers telling their story.

"Helpful Adjectives for Fiction Writers," by Valery Howard, is a collection of synonyms to help you to grow as a writer.


When you're working on a writing project, and you want to describe a personality trait, you can look it up in Howard's book without googling the Internet. This book comes in handy for people with English as a 2nd language.


Valery created an entry of topics as a starting point to search for synonyms. She has dived each main topic into subcategories, and corresponding synonyms, to find the right word for your story.


You can find a wide range of topics, like Affluence, Age, Attractiveness, Brightness, Capacity, Cleanliness, Color, Emotion, Height & Length, Opacity, Personality Trait, etc.


Some words are new to me. But if you're like me, you can find most synonyms on the Internet, which I do from time to time. But if you're not a skilled computer user, or if you're not online and don't want to browse through a thick dictionary, the book is a valuable asset for your Kindle library.


It's a collection of useful synonyms to help you grow as a writer. But, as I said, you can find most synonyms online.


And I'm always online...
