"Wonderful resource for beginning screenplay writers or anyone interested in writing scripts. Helpful examples and humorous tone makes it easy to read."
"Blech. This book had an occasional useful tidbit but otherwise was a waste of time at best and dangerous to the writer at worst. It's a book that encourages self-editing ("don't ever do this, don't do that, be sure not to make this common mistake!"), a thought process that destroys creativity. Comparatively, would reading a book about "What basketball playing mistakes NOT to make" improve your basketball skills? Probably not much."
"Didn't help much, I took a class called "writing for short media" and that helped more than this book ever could. However, it is called "How NOT to write a screenplay". So it gives examples of poor writing and then tells you what could have made it better. Either way, didn't help for what I was looking for but did re-iterate things I had already learned. Yep."
"This is a great reference book. Small, easy to carry around in a laptop bag, it points to some common mistakes that even someone who thinks they're halfway intelligent (like myself) would make in trying to write their scripts. I highly recommend it. And while yes, I have a copy that can be borrowed, it can only be borrowed by actual friends, not just online friends. (that way I will know where you live)"
