I bought the book and haven't sold a screenplay yet. If I had, I 'd give it 5 stars. I've read many books that offer advice for screenwriters, and this is one of the best. It rings true, is easy to read, and shot me in the fanny with the glory gun. I followed Sinor's advice, and two of my scripts are at least getting read!

Despite its title, I found this book useful. The "BS" is just the opposite. It gave me good, common sense advice on how to get inside the walls of Hollywood...or at least how to get the tunnel started. If you can't "take a meeting" in Hollywood, or hang at wherever aspiring screenwiters hang, this book is for you. Well written, interesting, good advice; much of which I hadn't thought of or heard before.

I made this purchase on a whim at the recommendation of an online reviewer. I can't say I'm sitting in Hollywood right now with a multi-million dollar deal, but I CAN say (for the first time) that my script is actually being read! I attribute this to my own personal work ethic but also partially to this great read. Like others have said, it's funny, but it also really takes you down the road and shows you what you need to do in order to get the ball rolling. It's not BS... it's B$!!! That, by the way, stands for Best Strategies, which I'm inclined to say is exactly what it is. Really recommend this to any aspiring screenwriter.
