Title: Longwinded, self-justified academia!!!
Review: Longwinded, self-justified academia!!! Is how I sum this up. Having read Syd Field's books and Blake Synder's Save the Cat series...I decided to read this for good measure and due to is 214 4 star rating!!! as much for consumer response I appreciate this is a dog. The book if writing by an author who's professional career is that of an academic with minor accomplishments selling scripts. I find his pompus insights to how cinema/storytelling has declined to be a bore and off the point. The pages of filled with exasberated self justifications of his ego and do not address what it takes to be a screenwriter. I am disappointed in the ratings and purchase of this book. If you want to learn screen writing read Syd Field and definitely Blake Synder....till then you just sucking in smoke!!!
Is the review positive or negative?
