Rating:  out of 5 stars - Excellent
Kudos to Mr. Noble. I found this book to quite insightful and well written. It has tremendous information and examples so very well explained. A must for anyone who is writing a story or screenplay. It could be considered a blue print for success.

Rating:  out of 5 stars - Conflict, Action and Suspense
If you're an aspiring writer, you'll probably want to have this book.

Noble's secrets on subtly and misdirection, finding ways to let scenes, storylines, and themes converge, and insights on character development, transitions, and story structure will improve the work of any author. Guaranteed.

Rating:  out of 5 stars - The Drama Loop
This is, quite possibly, the best book in the Elements of Writing Fiction series.
The purpose of this book appears to be giving you an idea of how to create abstract opposites to further your story or novel. Please don't mistake it as a fiction band-aid: it's not. It may, however, get you through one of those boring middle sections by giving you ideas on what it is you need to fix to get your story running again. The book provides examples through the works of others, suggestions, and good explanations as ... Read More
