"A very interesting book....it may not work very well as a book about how to be a screenwriter (or maybe it does work well in that regard....I'm not trying to be a screenwriter and wasn't reading it for that reason), but Goldman is a great writer who's fun to read. His memories of his work in Hollywood and his honest and blunt opinions are fun to read and the book zips by."
