This review is from: Screenwriting four Geniuses (Paperback)

Anyone who has ever read one of the countless "how to" screenwriting books will apreciate this scathing parody. The book may be a bit too inside at times for non Hollywood industry readers, but there is enough humor to appeal to all. This is truly one of the funniest books on the subject, whose humor is dead on. The book never overstays its welcome at a slim 130 pages. I believe writers (and even some film executives) will know many friends they can buy this book for. It's hilarious!
