This is a terrific writing book. Vorhaus's discussion of conflict and through line is easy to understand. I found myself thinking about my current work in progress and filling in the blanks as I read his text. He is also very funny--go figure.

Be mindful that after you read this book, watching movies becomes less enjoyable because you become good at guessing plot development.
