 One of the Best Books I've Ever Read (on any subject) October 10, 2008
HardCoreGamer (North Little Rock, AR United States)
This book is extremely well written and easy to understand. It makes you believe that you can write a screenplay and it shows you exactly how to do it.
Supplemental Text for a Scriptwriting Class September 29, 2008
B. Jenkins (Charleston, WV)
I've used this book quite a bit as I work through my class, and I have found it very helpful so far.
Well Worth The Money..and More August 4, 2008

This book is well worth the money, and more. An excellent beginning screenplay writer's guide. Combine this with Robert McKee's book Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwritingy and you have a heck of a learning tool.
Could be better than film schools. July 11, 2008

If you are thinking of enrolling in a film school to study how to write scripts, GET THIS BOOK FIRST. You might save a lot of money. This book has everything. It's easy to read. I wish I'd found this book before wasting tons of money on U*LA.
 EVERYTHING BOOK IS Nothing but snipets and meager barely at all format guide. June 11, 2008

Screenwriters Bible?
This is what your girl friend would give you in her return visit from the library; she would "make you a tape"; she would go to the library, get a whole bunch of things that have the label "screenwriting" and shove them in this little file when she heard your going to be screenwriting.
I honestly thought that this thing would be a large book that deals exclusively with script format.
The truth is that this guy basically went to the Screenwriters section in a library, tore out a whole bunch of pages from everything he could get his hands on and shoved it into this little book.
It is everything and nothing at all.
Sorry. If you dont have access to many things as is, if you dont have access to a library, a book store, the internet, if you are in the Amazon Jungle where no signs of life exist for hundreds of miles, then this might be the best book out there.
If you are truly void of all resources,
cannot get your hands on anything in regards to Screenwriting,
this collage of snipets from everything under the sun might be for you.
One of the most useless books out there. (But then again, so are most screenwriting books).
Not the best for Format. Thats for sure.
