4.0 out of 5 stars
Highly Recommended,
By A Customer
This review is from: Three Rules for Writing a Novel: A Guide to Story Development (Paperback)
Don't be fooled by the title of this book. It's not really about any "three rules" at all, or how to write fiction either, but instead delves into the what, where and who of fiction. The "what" section, dealing with plot motivators and "story spicers" and comprising a third of the book, is worth the price alone. Noble offers an excellent analysis of what moves stories along. In the process he shows writers how to steal (yes, steal!) from others to make their stories work in a dramatic, cohesive fasion. The "where" and "who" sections will prove less useful to experienced writers, but the "what" section makes this book a truly invaluable and unique resource for writers of all levels. Screenwriters should also find this section helpful in streamlining their plots.
