Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You’ll Ever Need
Movies are for emotional adolescents with short attention spans who want to feel but lack the maturity to think. If you want to feel you go to a movie; if you want to think you read or go to a play.
This book entertainingly repeats advice from earlier writers on how to write scripts that make you feel. And it is scripts that make you feel that make money for both writer and producer. If money is your goal as a scriptwriter this book is a helpful package. If you want to write for the brain don’t waste your time with movies; you should be writing novels or drama. The author doesn’t understand that which is why I gave it 3 stars.

I feel obliged to give this book 1 star for two reasons:
1. It’s fairly obvious that Mr Snyder has asked all his friends to dump 5 star reviews on the amazon.com website
2. His book really isn’t interesting

If you want to know how to direct good movies would you read a book by Michael Bay or Steven Spielberg? Mr. Spielberg, I think. So if you want to know how to write good screenplays do you read a book from the guy who wrote “Stop Or My Mom Will Shoot” and “Blank Check”? I did and I’m sorry for it. He basicly dishes out advice and then sort of contradicts himself. For example, he says all main characters should be introduced or hinted at within the first ten pages(minutes). Then he uses “Star Wars” as an example as a good movie that does things right. I agree. I it’s my favorite movie. But aren’t Luke Skywalker and Han Solo introduced after the first ten minutes? It’s a lot of things like that. So why should anybody listen to him? Don’t buy this book.

Have you noticed how all the reviews of this book are 5 stars and have you noticed how every review tells you “to buy this book!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen that on Amazon before, even with the best books out there!
I really don’t recommend buying this book. The advice really isn’t very good. When the guy’s only two credits are “stop! or my mom will shoot” and “Blank Check”, enough said! Don’t emulate him. Try ‘Story’ by Robert Mckee or ‘The Devil’s guide to Hollywood’ by Joe Eszterhas.
