Title: Too much breaking down, not enough putting together.
Review: I have read a few screenplay writing books and regularly refer to a couple of them. I do not think this one will make the cut. Here is why: Yes, the book goes to great lengths in analyzing and re-analayzing and cutting and slicing story structure. The problem is it does too much of it. It does this until the pieces become so small that everything seaps through the sieve. As you read the book, you keep expecting that the author will start putting pieces together, but it never happens.I heard the author's seminars are a very enjoyable due to his performance. I am afraid the book is just a very profitable business idea, an afterthought... for him.
