'It's a huge achievement, an incredibly comprehensive analysis of what the screenwriter does, of what can go right and what can go wrong and how to fix it when it does. I highly recommend it.' --Andrew Bovell, Lantana, Blessed, Edge of Darkness

This book is a huge help in that Linda Aronson really does pull together wide-ranging structures and show how they are related, and how they differ. Her analysis of films with complex structures is quite fascinating. And although she focuses on structure, her approach can also provide some unlocking of character through action. (Rather than action through character with is where many writers start. Not that that isn't a fine approach. Just that there is more than one way to skin a cat).
As a subsidiary plus, this book is a great clearinghouse of a lot of other screenplay gurus' advice. Linda Aronson references these works, which is a great help in seeking out information to help guide anyone looking for instruction in this area.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for insight into screenplay structure. I am actually rereading parts of it, it is so good!

Finally, a new paradigm! Screenwriting in the new millennium
I have read and own many screenwriting books, and all of them have some real value to them. But for some time, I have been looking for something that addresses the sophistication of audiences now. Sure the old models still work, but I was looking for help in telling stories in new ways. And this book Is the new paradigm.
Like Syd Field, McKee, Vogler and Blake Snyder, Linda has produced a revolutionary book that is of its day. . It's a hefty tome, but don't be put off by that as its an easy read too.
Revolutionary, empowering, sophisticated and inspiring.

Not just another '3 acts and a hero' screenwriting book. It's dense stuff, but all the better for that. Hugely recommended.
