Save your money
Why do all these books like this one and Save the Cat use only movies to explain how to tell a story but not books there are two completely different mediums with the pros and cons of each one yes it's telling a story but there are things that you can do in a movie and things that you can do in a book that you can't do in the other they're different they need 2 different books. I think the same people who write these books also write horoscopes they're Pacific enough to give you an idea of what they're trying to talk about but yet vague enough to make you feel in the blanks for yourself and so that everything but nothing really fits into their blueprint. It interrupts itself with all these movie quotes and gives you 20 different examples of the same thing you don't need all this I couldn't follow it without skipping most of it A lot of people don't want to admit this because they pay all this money for these books but 95% of these books are full of crap. Let me tell you things that you should already know about story. If Save your money I wish I did.
