History & Criticism Editorial Review
"Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting" by Robert McKee is a highly recommended book by novice and experienced writers alike. It is deemed as an essential addition to any writer or storyteller's reference library due to its easy-to-follow approach. The book explains the basis of storytelling through past and present films' examples and gets into the complexities of arcs for scenes, sequences and acts. The book can also benefit beginners in literature, playwright or anyone in a similar field. Some readers even call it "invaluable" for new writers. However, there are a few complaints about the book's pretentious tone and being old-fashioned. One customer received a damaged copy while the other praised the book's pristine condition upon delivery.
