really bad stuff
This type of books is Hollywood's main enemy. The type of books that make readers feel it is okay to not risk anything and just go for plain formula that has sold in the past.

Just OK
The book offers a few good suggestions, however it's mostly formula. Not for the Independant film writer. The book is a good shoehorn for writers hoping to write Hollywood Summer Tentpole films.
