Title: This is about me?
Review: Yeah, I'm a reader. Yeah, I'm the guy that Lerch and her exclamation points are trying to help you get past. So naturally, because I'm insanely egotistical and convinced my position in Hollow-wood is amazingly important, I was fascinated to read all about myself and what I like and what I don't like. Don't get me wrong -- I didn't buy the book. I just borrowed it. What would people think if they saw it in my bookshelf? ("Gawd. Is he trying to write a script? I thought he just read them.") So will this book help you write a script that I'll like? Maybe. More likely is that it'll just annoy you. And keep this in mind: ten thousand readers can like your script, but never once has a reader bought a script. It's the development people, the producers, the c.e.'s who cut the checks. So writing for us is shooting a little low, don't you think?
