Customer Reviews

A great read that resolves many problems.
This is the first book I have purchased which deals with the subject of writing and/or re-writing screenplays - I was holding my breath waiting for this to arrive - And when I got it, I didnt put it down - I read it cover to cover - It solved many problems I had with re-writing a screenplay. This is a great book for beginners (Although I have been writing for years now.) - It re-educates but doesnt bore you like your old English lessons did and it is useful to go back to for future purposes whenever you get stuck - I recomend this to anyone who is interested in screenwriting.

Simple guidance that helps a great deal
The best thing about this book is that it breaks down the structures and tools found in a screenplay and gives you enough information to feel confident enough to use them yourself.

The examples are clear and all help to illustrate the point.

I found this book extremely useful both for improving an existing screenplay and starting another.

It does not dictate how to write, but teaches you the tricks of the trade so that you can use them in whatever way you wish.

A superb structural reference manual - buy it.

a great book
I've only read about five scriptwriting books, but in terms of story structuring this ranks top. Great book.

Ignore the previous review. I don't know what magical scriptwriting bible this person's got but, in terms of story structuring, no book I've read goes into any more depth than this, and all the books I've read got 5 star averages.
