 Wouldn't rave about it August 25, 2007

Not entirely sure why everyone seems to be raving about this book. It's not a bad book but there are *much* better screenwriting books than this kicking around out there e.g. Save The Cat, or How Not To Write A Screenplay, or the quite excellent Teach Yourself Screenwriting and Pocket Essential Writing A Screenplay and so on.
Maybe it's me but I've just stuck my copy in a charity bag...!
 Thank you Viki! November 9, 2005

I ordered this book because, although I've had a bit of experience with writing screenplays, I wanted to refresh myself for the adaption of my novel. I spent just over a month following Viki's advice and finished my script. I have now secured a Hollywood agent on the basis of this script and I'm sure that Viki's advice in the book was partly responsible for this. So thank you Viki. My only complaint is that having just moved house, I have managed to lose my well-thumbed copy, so I am going to have to buy another!
A wicked reference for your movie March 28, 2005

This is an excellent book to give you pointers on writing your movie. It is remarkebly easy to read and understand and is just the right size to take anywhere with you with great ease.
This book helps to solve the small as well as the large problems you may have with simplicity. It helps you with the visualisation of your movie, even when you don't have too much to go on.
The suggested layouts are quite conventional though but this is easily solved with a little visualisation and imagination on the writers part and actually helps you to know what it is that you want out of your script and its layout. There are some great pointers for each stage of your movie and some basic tips to get you through the day and any fears that you might have.
I really did write a screenplay in 21 days! October 31, 2004

Does what it says on the tin. I managed to get out a screenplay in 21 Days following this book.
It still needs polishing but it got my idea onto paper. Highly recommended - and it was recommended to me by someone who wrote a screenplay in 21 Days using this book.
a book that gets you writing May 7, 2004

Yes it's hokey and american, but this is a true gem of a book. It commands, challenges and inspires you to write. Yes it's three act stuff, and probably most suitable to Hollywood formula stuff, but...it actually gets you writing.This book sets you exercises to write. Who ever read Robert McKee and tried to hone their writing skills while reading it? More likely they put that book down for a stiff gin and a bracing walk to avoid getting a DVT. It's not perfect, but it's as perfect as you are going to get. It will stop you reading and start you writing, and that's more than half the battle. You may buy others first, but please buy this eventually, and realise its condensed, inspiring magic. This book lays bare the truth of many writers: we all dream of writing a work of genius, yet in dreaming, never write a word. This book tells you to keep dreaming, and keep writing.
