I've read lots of books on writing good stories. I've watched DVDs and listened to lectures on crafting and organizing a story. I've studied the craft for a while and I've learned there are very few great books out there on the subject. There are some good ones, some decent ones, and a few crummy ones. However, there are only a few Great books. This book was good, not great. Larry Brooks did an excellent job of getting his points across and had more than enough information to merit a couple read throughs. However, there was nothing truly groundbreaking about it. I would recommend this book to anyone interested to sit down and start working on a novel. I would not recommend it to anyone who had studied the idea of writing stories already. This book makes an excellent primer, but a poor research book.
I received this book free from BookSneeze in exchange for an honest review.
