Negative Positive
Title: The only book on storyteling that you need.
Review: I could go on a lengthy diatribe of the merits of this book...but, suffice it to say that Robert McKee has a remarkable analytical ability. Out of the huge stack of screenwriting books that I have read, this is the only one with a unique vision. The others just rehash Syd Field with their own special chapter on how to make it in Hollywood. Bad Movie analogy: Reading this book is like when Neo finally see's the Matrix for what it is. If you want to write screenplays, or just understand the lines of code that make up your favorite movie, then buy this book.
