Title: Shallow Approach to Plotting
Review: "The Marshall Plan" is a cute title for a gimmick. However, the Plan is a shallow, formulaic approach to plotting that can make any genre fiction hit its marks on page counts--but that's all. If you're a mainstream writer who needs help with more weighty matters, like developing characters or finding the right point of view, forget the Marshall Plan. New writers beware: If you think you know exactly how to write a novel after reading this book, you'll find that you've still got a lot to learn.
