5.0 out of 5 stars Reads like a book; very addictive. Great dialogue., July 7, 2004

PULP FICTION, the film, is one of my favorites, and I own both the DVD and the screenplay by Quentin Tarantino. Now, as with most things, since Quentin has become ultra-popular, it's suddenly become "cool" to dislike him and his movies (particularly FICTION). Quoting Dave Thomas (SCTV), "Let's get down to the nitty gritty here": Whether or not you like the film, Quentin DOES have a knack for superb dialogue, and here is proof.

Recommended on all levels - one of my hobbies is scriptwriting and this is a definite inspiration as it was written by a man-child who never took a single screenwriting course. He just did it, and that's always been my own strategy when it comes to these things.

I bought the first edition years ago and loved it. It's printed in its original form, so other than being smaller and printed two-sided, it looks like a script.

I recommended it to my filmmaking buddies as a great presentation of a great script- until I saw the new edition. It is no longer printed in form and has pictures and stuff. Yuck.

I wouldn't buy the new version, but I suppose it's better than nothing. Old version is a 10, new version is an 8 or so.

5.0 out of 5 stars Top notch, a true achievement in modern screen writting, November 12, 1998

This review is from: Pulp Fiction: A Quentin Tarantino Screenplay (Paperback)

Tarentino is a true master of the spoken word. The characters are multi-dimesional and it's difficult to get bored. The humor is overwhelmingly funny at times and keeps the story moving at a very good pace. The story alone makes this a must-have but throw in Tarentinos wit and ability and you have an instant classic, somthing that doesen't come around that often.
