Excellent:

Awesome book. Very detailed and extensive. Seems like a simple thing but rather than using quotes from other books to demonstrate a concept, he's written his own. This really helps to make the point.

He breaks down character functions, pacing, character arc, etc. For $15 you get what you might never... more info
