How to Write Great Characters: The Key to Your Hero's Growth and Transformation by David Wisehart

Very short read. Not the best introduction to the Enneagram -- if I didn't already know the Enneagram, I might have been lost. His plan for how to develop a story by moving your character around the Enneagram chart...well, I wish he would gave applied that to an actual movie instead of coming up with a story that sounded like "one damn thing after another."

Enh.

Contrary to the other reviews I read on this book, I actually found it to be quite helpful! This was a great introductory to help writers think about character development. It by no means should be a stand alone- I mean, it's only like 80 pages after all. But for someone who is struggling with figuring out what's missing from their characters' lives, I found this book very helpful. It gave me a new perspective to think about and it was written in a very easy-to-follow way.
