the epic highs:
“All characters (just like people) have this hole right through their middle and all of them are desperately trying to hide it and live with it.”
and the epic lows:
"Will Annakin [sic] Skywalker and Princess [sic] Amadalla [sic] finally get together [sick]?"
sorry Attack Of the Clones wasn't a movie about Amish murders, but the least you could do is look at a press release or cast list for spelling.

Excellent. A good summary of most of the current approaches. Clear. Good examples and stories. Excellent sample documents.

Okay for foundational knowledge of the skill, but sorely outdated. I don't know that all the resources on Myspace would still be useful. That said, if the author wrote a modern version for the streaming era, I'd mark it want-to-read.

A self explanatory book. Exasperated by how much one has to think about, when considering writing a screen play.
Clearly laid out plans of action and an informative delivery of ' How to's and ' Do's and Don'ts '.
Easy to read and apply, and for those who are ready to take the next step in their chart for success in the world of TV writing.
A must read for those who are serious about screen writing. Intelligently written and a useful book to have at every planned stage.
Go get it...Budding writers of the Silver Screen....
