Quality

Excellent examples and very straightforward; well written.

Great outline and explanation of structure, substance, style, and principles of screenwriting and can be used for the audience ... Read More

I disliked the frequent wordiness, excessive examples, and supercilious bragging.

What truly sets "story" apart is its applicability beyond the realm of screenwriting.

Price

It will help you a great deal.

The combination of that and the great value of the book's content that makes this a very enjoyable read.

I honestly can’t believe the price is 25$.

A bit chewy but well worth reading imho for anyone who's serious about wanting to tell stories well.

Shipping

The delivery was quickly and packaging was outstanding.

Packaging/appearance

Arrived on time and in perfect shape, a must for any screenwriter

Competitiveness

This is the closest thing to a college level textbook on story design on the market.

For example i've tried using value shifts and teaching them to other writers and mostly failed.
