It's hard to balance all of the elements and create something that will pull a reader into the story world and keep them there all the way through to the end. This book gives writers easy to understand concepts and easy to use tools for making that happen. That still doesn't mean that writing a great novel will be easy. But perhaps it will be easier. ( ) Excellent book to help you organize your narrative. Especially helpful in explaining why formulas work and how using a formula frees you to create something better. Highly recommend to writers who struggle with how to structure their story for the best impact on readers. Best read after trying to write on your own for a while so you can see how to make your story better. Easy to get through with some exercises, charts, and tips I definitely plan on using. The info isn't really new, but it's always helpful to hear. I enjoyed it and took a few notes besides. Beware any judgments the author makes on genres outside of mysteries and thrillers--they're not necessarily wrong, but very frequently a shallow understanding. no reviews | add a review
