Product Description:
This ultimate insider's guide reveals the secrets that none dare admit, told by a show biz veteran who's proven that you can sell your script if you can save the cat!

This is a great book, especially when you say to yourself "stop it Robert McKee, I can't take anymore of your sh&*^%%&!" Blake talks to you like an old pal instead of a Harvard professor. And although I prefer a Harvard professor most of the time, Save the Cat is a great stray that strengthened my writing significantly. Thank you Blake Snyder... RIP!

I'm not so smitten with the legion of "how to" screenplay books that are essentially just restatements of the same tired formula that hasn't changed since Aristotle. But of all those formula books, this is most certainly the best. And that's not intended as a backhanded compliment.
Lord knows we're talking about Hollywood here. If you think you're going to make it big in Hollywood as a screenwriter by not writing to formula you're kidding yourself (and if you say "Tarantino", #1: ... Read More

Snyder's book is, as another viewer noted, a guide to screenSELLING. Judging by Snyder's advice and illustrious career (yeah right), it's apparent that he believes in making cheesy, gimmicky family comedies with stupid premises, selling them for millions of dollars and watching the second-week box office nose dive after everybody realizes the movie sucks. That obviously doesn't bother him, because he's made his career on the types of movies that film-lovers roll their eyes at. To be fair, he states ... Read More

My disclaimer: As with any opinion, it is only my opinion and these reviews will vary depending on who reads the book and what the reader is looking for. I look for ways to improve businesses, sales, and my life. This book falls under my life where I categorize my hobby of screenwriting. I've still got a ways to go, but I think that this book is very helpful
On a 1 to 5 scale, 5 being the best:
Readability: 5 The late Blake Snyder certainly can write and simplify things. This ... Read More
