review 1: This book was excellent, except for two caveats. One was the overemphasis on humility; he kept stressing the point that aspiring writers shouldn't be full of themselves. He did this by constantly insulting the reader. I fully agree with his point, but it was tiresome to read over and over. I got it the first time.The other problem was the formatting ... he used lots of excerpts, which was great, but they were set in the same font as the regular text. So, at times it was hard to tell whether the author was speaking or it was an excerpt. Why not set all excerpts in Courier? Or italicized? Would have made it much clearer. What was more ironic was that several chapters discussed formatting.
review 2: Abrasive title, but awesome book. If you're interested in writin... moreg or selling a screenplay, this book really is a must have. He tells you how to transform and beat your script into shape as well as letting you in on some of the little trade secrets to help you look like you're not a novice. It's also just a fun read, he's very conversational. The only down-side to it is because he is so open, he makes you really understand how difficult it is to break it into the Hollywood industry. So for any aspiring writers out there, good luck and read this book! less
