20 Master Plots: And How to Build Them by Ronald B. Tobias
4.0
I found this book to be thorough and sweeping in delineating the options available to writers in area of plot and narrative. It broadened my horizons in terms of the extensive sweep available for utilization; thus also, sparking some unconsidered ideas I didn't have yet just because certain options hadn't crossed my path by that point.
The writing is straight-forward, easy to understand, and light on prose depth. Definitely an educational piece that can be read without much effort.
The lay-out allows for bouncing around if one chooses, as opposed to the need for forced linear reading. Some parts you may never feel the need to peruse, while others will have you coming back to over and over.
The flexiblity, easy-readability, and enlightening nuts-and-bolts depth of this book's material makes it an easy choice as a permanent fixture on my writer's resource shelf.
