Compared with K.M.'s free writing guide “5 Secrets to Story Structure”, this book is packed with examples from literature and film to illustrate the different parts of a novel. It has a heavy-duty feel to it, more akin to a reference book than something to be read in one sitting.

Upon finishing the section on the resolution, I wondered why I had only finished half of the book. It turns out that the rest of the book talks about effective scenes and sentences, and I wanted to bludgeon myself for thinking, “I didn't see that coming.”
