I read this book because it was often mentioned by journalists when it came to the question of which books they recommend to other journalists who want to learn how to write better stories. While this book is certainly good at analyzing structure and giving instructions in this regard, a major update is urgently needed.This book is bursting with patriarchal, heterosexist and other unreflected ideas. They can be found not only in ( e.g. anti-queer) examples, but also in the fundamental perception of what defines a good story. To be honest, I am shocked by how often this book was recommended. Because stories shape our reality - and these stories are no longer suitable to deal with our reality responsibly.
A pretty short book on screenwriting that nevertheless tells a lot to all authors or scripts as well as novels alike: What's a three dimensional character, what's a structure and how do you benefit from it, what's expected in your genre, why is the compact more important that the overly drawn out and how to bring the story down to the parts you need and delete the useless rest of it. I liked the highly compact audiobook and will likely listen to it again, as I believe I might have overheared some pearls of wisdom due to traffic :)
It took me months to finish this book. Not because it is boring, but because it is so full of knowledge, so dense with useful information about how to create good stories. I'm sure I will go through it again and again and learn something new every time. If you're creating stories, I think you can't miss this book.
