Title: I agree -- this book is next to worthless
Review: I am a story analyst for a major lit agency and, as part of my job, read and evaluate all of the new screenwriting books that come to market. I must say this is just about the worst book for the screenwriter that has come along in quite some time. It totally misrepresents how one needs to go about breaking into the business as a screenwriter. A lot of the suggestions it contains would be, in fact, detrimental for the emerging screenwriter. The author's lack of credits and lack of real-world experience as a screenwriter is woefully obvious in the bad advice that fills this book. Anyone who tries to use it will find it a guide to misfortune. Too many people are writing screenwriting books who have no experience in the trade, and this book is a prime example of that trend.
