Query: I tried to like this book, really I did

The front cover of this book shows a character broken into more than a dozen parts. I felt disjointed, just like the cover, when I tried to work my way through the book. It doesn't flow in any intuitive way and I felt lost even when I thought I knew what I was looking for.I'd like to have a great writers guide to stimulate thought on different personality types, mannerisms, etc. But I'm afraid this isn't the one.
