While the author is very inflexible in describing and defining terms, and as such may be off-putting to many readers, adopting a very flexible approach to interpreting the text of this book can yield significant benefits to many aspiring and working writers. While the author clearly aims to make this book suitable to both screenwriters and novelists (other than the section explicitly about the screenplay production business itself), success is mixed in terms of how things get presented, as the author seems to regularly forget this book is supposed to be for novelists as well.
There are definitely flaws in presentation, and I had independently discovered a lot of what this book has to say, but it presents a systematic approach to pre-prose story development that could prove enlightening and very hepful for many. In contrast to the author's very "my way or the highway" tone, in fact, the book clearly states that nobody should just do exactly what this book says, unquestioningly, and that we should all take from it what will best help us and make it our own -- as long as we do it consciously, rather than simply because we don't know any better. (It may just be difficult for the occasional mildly-offended reader to get to that point.)
It has flaws, as you might discern from the above, but it also offers significant value, and it helped me work through a novel outline much more quickly than I feared it would take this month.
