Do not buy the kindle edition of this book. This book will not open on my Kindle Paperwhite or my phone. This will only open on my laptop and Kindle Fire. It is very inconvenient to read on my Kindle Fire, and it is like reading a PDF document on my laptop. You cannot take advantage of the vocabulary builder. You cannot change the font size. It does not show the percent complete in the chapter or book. The table of contents does not have any links. I did find a few typos that I could not report to Amazon.

When you get past the really bad formatting, the context of this book is good. The author breaks down Pixar story telling into 10 different subjects. Some of the subjects are choosing an idea, creating empathy, and creating drama/conflict. He even has a message for Aspiring Artist. He uses examples of all of the Pixar films from Toy Story to Inside Out. This book does give me a different perspective on Pixar’s movies, and TED talks, and Toastmaster’s speeches.

The kindle version of this book is very bad, and does take advantage of many of the kindle features. You will find the context of this book good if you do not mind reading this book on your laptop. The publisher really needs to fix the kindle version of this book, or amazon needs to lower the price.
