Title: So disappointing and painful
Review: I needed this book. As an experienced improv actor and teacher who wanted to do corporate improv training, THIS was to be my guide. My paper mentor (actually, plastic as I had the Audio CD version). But I couldn't get through the first chapter because the writing style made me scream! It's list after list after list.Lists are are horrible way for anyone, especially a creative person, to convey info. After the fifth or sixth item on the fifth or six list, how much do you think sinks in?Add an extrememly rigid narrator, I'm sorry to say, and this book is unusable for me.I tried. I really tried. As I said, I needed this book. But after less than one chapter, I pulled the CD out of the player and, with a combination of disappointment and relief, put it back in its case. Maybe the style gets better as you go on, but I'll never know.Won't someone write a book about this subject that's readable?
