  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? No
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I loved the analogy this book presents, but honestly... part two is long, boring, and kinda unnecessary. You'll probably enjoy this book a lot more if you just read a summary of part two instead, because there is very little important information. Part one and part three are probably 4.5 stars, and part two is 1 star.
