Do As I Say Not As I Do1
He writes a book on how to write realistic characters but admits in the first chapter that the examples he will give are mostly too broad to be realistic. I have only read the first chapter on the amazon excerpt but that admission decides it for me

Exellent better than those cumbersome lists.5
Very good and makes sense. Explains characterization in detail. Tells you the what's, whys and hows. Does not expect you to pull ideas out of the air. With this book you can make characters the focus of the story rather than plot and helps fix stories where you think the characters are lacking in whatever aspect.
