jmmd 's review for:
A generally helpful overview of the elements of the three-act story structure, with lots of examples, but it's overly prescriptive for my taste. Weiland lost me in the FAQ section where she answered "Will my story be a failure if I don't follow a three-act structure?" with "Short answer, yes... Longer answer, most likely." She claims all successful books follow this structure more or less to the percentage point, which just isn't true. I'm not even sure it's true for all the examples she referenced. Still, it breaks down the structure nicely if you want to use it and explains the key elements such that you could deviate from it if you want to, deciding what to take and leave.
