Book Reviews of Story: Substance, Structure, Style and The Principles of Screenwriting
Book Review: Sorry, but I just don't get it.
Summary: 1 Stars
I know this guy is supposedly the screenwriting guru. But sorry, I just don't get it. To be honest I couldn't even finish it. Mr McKee seems to have perfected the art of complicating even the simplest of ideas. I know a few writers who loved this book - so maybe it's just me. But give me anything by Bill Goldman any day of the week.P.S. Anyone seen anything Mr McKee has written?
