The book was okay. I enjoyed that it gave an example of a well written film script and a tv sitcom script. However, it definitely isn't a how to type of book.
The author does give pointers on what to and what not to do. But, it seems that in the end he is basically saying "learn by doing" and then do it some more. Eventually you will get it right and may or may not have a saleable script.
