5.0 out of 5 stars Kewl!, October 9, 1999

After reading the Zoetrope discussion, I decided to give this book a try, and couldn't put it down. Fearless stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mystery, Fantasy or Dream?, September 29, 1999

By A Customer

No, it seems to be true love, if their website can be believed. In spite of the distance and cultural differences, these two have written an engrossing screenplay, as well as a spirited account of their partnership (professional and romantic). They've offhandedly revealed some insights about the creative process, too.

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring email, disappointing book, October 19, 2000

By	Charles Deemer (Portland, OR USA) - See all my reviews

As I said in my review for CREATIVE SCREENWRITING, this book is a one-sided, unfocused conversation that does not live up to its purpose. This is print-on-demand at its worst, a book screaming for the chain saw and vision of an editor. The screenplay itself is not bad for a draft but in no way does this book reveal or clarify the collaborative process in screenwriting. Two thumbs very down.
