Title: I Was Wrong - This Book Deserves More Credit
Product review: I reviewed this book a year ago and gave it only two stars. A subsequent reviewer accused me of sloppily reading the text - and although I hate to admit it - he or she was right. The fact is, I hadn't given the book a fair shake. Since then, I purchased a used copy and read it from cover to cover...It's not easy to admit when you're wrong - but I've gathered more gems from this book than probably any other book I've ever read (and, like most aspiring screenwriters, I've read ALOT). One of these gems is the detailed chapter on act/sequence/scene and beat; the "Sea of Love" example was of particular interest to me. And, as mentioned by another reviewer, I've never found a more thorough discussion of genre anywhere.The bottom line is this: I would hate for anyone to avoid this valuable book on the basis on my earlier review.
