5.0 out of 5 stars Simple guidance that helps a great deal, 20 May 2003
The best thing about this book is that it breaks down the structures and tools found in a screenplay and gives you enough information to feel confident enough to use them yourself.

The examples are clear and all help to illustrate the point.

I found this book extremely useful both for improving an existing screenplay and starting another.

It does not dictate how to write, but teaches you the tricks of the trade so that you can use them in whatever way you wish.

A superb structural reference manual - buy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars a great book, 27 Nov 2000
By A Customer
I've only read about five scriptwriting books, but in terms of story structuring this ranks top. Great book.

Ignore the previous review. I don't know what magical scriptwriting bible this person's got but, in terms of story structuring, no book I've read goes into any more depth than this, and all the books I've read got 5 star averages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful for beginner through to veteran writers., 12 Jan 2000
By A Customer
My writing teacher at uni introduced me to this book and I have been using it to help me through second and third draft stages of screenplays AND novels ever since. This book has given me a tool for navigating the difficulties of dramatic structure and an enhanced fascination with and enjoyment of storytelling. I would recommend it to anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of structure, particularly three act structure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Screenplay structure laid bare.
