Brilliant! And funny

This is probably the most helpful, clear, and entertaining craft book I've read. It is all about romantic tension, what it is, what it does, and how, and where (spoiler - everywhere) it goes, to give readers the emotional intensity they crave. He explains structure and tension so that I think I almost get it!
