Customer Review: I've been to his seminar and this book covers everything he talks about at the seminar in good detail. The seminar is still well worth it as it drives everything home with real world examples.
Customer Review: For any aspiring screenwriter, this book is a must. It is not one of those annoying books about why this movie is better than that (a subjective analysis, in my opinion), this book is more about the nuts and bolts of good spec screenplay writing. For the first time, I learned to differentiate a spec... more info
Customer Review: As Blake describes in his book, most Screenwirters are "bullheaded". I was very "bullheaded" when I first started to write my screenplay.

Customer Review: Psychiatry has come a long way since 1967. Even according to one of the final chapters of Girl, Interupted, Susanna isn't convinced that she had Borderline Personality Disorder. I'm not either. As someone who has Borderline Personality Disorder (or at least has been diagnosed in the 2000s as having... more info
Customer Review: I found the book extremely helpful - but I would NOT recommend for beginning screenwriters. I've written almost 3 screenplays, and had them critiqued in class. So, I would say that I am an beginner-intermediate level. This book is an excellent resource for those who are already familiar with... more info
