It's a good book if you're new in the whole game story and character thing. I was when reading the book.

It will give you the basics of storytelling and character development. It can make your stories and characters few notches better.

If, however, you're looking for something deeper or you are already experienced in the field, this book won't offer much.

I give 4/5 because the style of writing was a little dumbed down to my liking.
