Damn Fine Story: Mastering the Tools of a Powerful Narrative by Chuck Wendig
4.0
Damn Fine Story is a different from other writing books I've read, as instead of telling you how to write, Wendig tells you what forms a story and the elements of a good story (i.e. a story people want to read or listen to).
Chuck Wendig's writing style is very informal and sometimes rude (so beware if you don't like profanity). I found it work very well for the purpose. His explanations are clear, with loads of examples taken from popular films, such as the Star Wars franchise and Die Hard amongst other things. And it's also very funny. Because of the writing style and humour, it's quite a compelling, fast read. I think it would be fun to read even for someone who is just interested in reading instead of writing as it really explores how and why some stories work and some don't.
