Simple, Practical and Deep
I found this book to be interesting, easy to read, easily applied and useful as a reference to learn how to tell better stories. I liked the idea that the author broke it down into four easy steps. These steps were easily understood and could be applied in multiple contexts. The one thing I did not always like was the repetition of examples. However, I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to learn to tell a better story. I chose the four out of five rating because it is a book I would recommend, it is easy to read, practical and an excellent book to refer back to as one would like to develop their stories into great stories.
