As stated on the back cover, this book is the bible of writer; at least he became "my" bible. The author illustrates his theories, both simple to understand but damn developed, with concrete examples of films or famous novels. After reading a lot of "manual" writing which, although very interesting, not teaching me, after all, what I already knew, this book gives me a real plus. After reading less than 100 pages, I understood what was blocking me in the scenario of the novel I'm writing. I recommend this book to all those who want to tell stories. I have only one regret: not having read the book earlier.
