PULLS NO PUNCHES
[...]four priceless things higgins taught me: (1) develop an ear for dialogue. (2) if your reading hasn't improved you, how do you expect your writing to improve your reader? (3) reading is a participatory sport. (4) you need data to write a story.

Don't waste your time
If you liked Friends of Eddie Coyle like I did, don't think this is anything like it. Read Stephen King's On Writing instead.

Only the Truth from George V.,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: On Writing: Advice for Those Who Write to Publish (Or Would Like to) (Paperback)
Read it because you love George V. Higgins: or read it because you really want to learn about writing fiction. He's not going to tell you it's easy, 'cause it isn't. But if you just have to do it, like he did, then this shows you the light at the end of the tunnel, and how to get there.
