Some good stuff in here, but would be especially useful for writers just starting out and needing a framework and lots of positive reinforcement.

4.0
Very useful (and reassuring) while not being dictatorial about process. Doughty has a more organic approach to finding out what your story's arc and themes are than some of the charts and worksheets and outline points writing tomes out there: you'll get there by doing more writing (not necessarily writing that will be in the novel) than by making lists or filling in structure charts.
aramsamsam's review against another edition
An entertaining working book compiled from a column Doughty wrote. I liked it but found the prompts did not lead up to the construct of a novel.
