I love writing books. I cannot read enough of them. This one, though, is different - instead of telling you how to write a great novel, it outlines common (and some not so common) errors unpublished writers make that keeps their novels from getting accepted. Most of the information I feel I already know, but there were definitely times when I just had to raise my hand and admit I was guilty. And it's awesomely funny - the examples of bad writing had me laughing out loud from time to time. Not only a useful resource, but a fun read as well.
