Title: An excellent guide for novice AND experienced screenwriters
Review: _The Megahit Movies_ is very easy to understand, straightforward, full of really valuable details and examples. Many of the books about writing screenplays out there (and there are certainly many) may make a good point here or there, but I often find myself wondering, "Well, what does he really mean by that?" This book never has that problem. The author is so generous with examples that the connection between theory and practice is always clear.This makes it so much easier for someone just learning thecraft, to really get a handle on what works and what doesn't.The depth of the book is only enhanced by its simplicity of design and language. Again, many of the books I've read seem to want to rely on some razzle-dazzle new formula or philosophy which will then be the "guarantee of success" for the person whofollows the guru. Stefanik doesn't try to sell anything fancy and his approach has tremendous credibility as a result.
