Question: Title: Stephen Kopels San Francisco School of Digital Filmmaking Review: After reading MovieMind and the companion script Johnny Nine Lives, I can say unequivocally that my understanding of the script writing process has been greatly enhanced. I have read more then a dozen books on this subject and though most are well written, this one really hit the target for me. It is comprehensive and FUN to read. It makes the technical aspect of screen writing much more approachable and not so intimidating.Bill has a wonderful sense of humor and a level of professionalism that really translates in giving the reader a feeling of self-confidence that... yes...I can do this.I highly recommend MovieMind for anyone who is serious about finally getting that story down on paper and in a form that makes it valuable and saleable.... As an educator and teacher of filmmaking I would not hesitate to recommend Bill's book to my students. Does this product review convey a negative or positive sentiment?

Question: Title: Very disruptive writing style Review: I found this novel to have a fairly interesting plot line, even if the start was a hair slow. My biggest problem with this work was Modesitt's writing style. I often felt myself taken away from the flow of the story by the author's *very* frequent usage of nonsense letters to represent a sound or an action. Maybe it's a nitpicky complaint, but after reading this work, rather than remembering the depth of the characters, or the pull of the plotline, I came away remembering that I had to decifer what seemed like pages of "Wheee...eee..." and "Thrummmmm.....Thrummmm...." and "Splattttt...." I may check the next book of the series out from the library, but it was definitely too much of a disappointment for me to spend money on it.

Question: Title: Original, promising approach to psychology of achievement Review: Kirchman makes some pretty heavy claims, but by and large, the book lives up to them.Aspirations is not an easy read, but it's well worth the effort. The author outlines, among other things, an empirical basis for psychology, how popular psychology is an emerging science of ethics, and how our qualities of character have a neurological basis.Apparently, his theory of deduction is being applied in a software company he is involved with.Overall, this book is innovative and is a must read for someone looking for answers and self-understanding.
