    Same great narrator as the audiobook version of Save the Cat! Again, if you are an actual screenwriter, get the actual book, not the audiobook. I thought it would be an interesting listen, but after repeating the gist of the Save the Cat methodology, the author just shows you how various movies match up to his beat sheet. It is well written and a good summary of a movie, in case you don't want to see it yourself, but there is very little insight--just a lot of examples from the 10 genres. NOT recommended.

    Fascinating, yet humorous analysis of how we tell stories as part of our culture, and the simple, yet interchangeable bones of every story. Or as the author says, we can see how the movies Bad News Bears and Ocean's 11 really are the same story. And yet, a very readable work, for those of us who aren't interested in writing movie scripts, but interested as to how the story is formed.

    The book is all over the place. And many (!) of the examples herein contradicts directly with the 'formula' Blake Snyder is trying to set up.Furthermore he uses a lot of self made terms for expressions and terminology that already exists.
