Story5 out of 5 stars 1
No one comes out of a movie talking about structure. What audiences love and remember about a movie are great scenes. Marlon Brando in the back seat in On the Waterfront giving his "I could'a been a contender" speech. Meg Ryan's fake orgasm in Katz's Deli in When Harry Met Sally with the climactic punch line: "I'll have what she's having." In Superbad, Jonah Hill professing "I love you" to his friend Michael Cera by touching his nose with a "boop".

Actionable and entertaining
A great foundation in the quest to build genre-aware screenwriting skills. Not as elaborate as John Truby's system, but easier to digest, and well-explored through analysis of films in all major Hollywood genres.

Solid Companion to the Original
The book is pitched as a stand alone, however, in my opinion you would get much less from it in this way, it is best taken as a companion to the original.
The deep dive of each genre with multiple examples in each was extremely helpful in understanding these ideas expressed in the original book.

The narrator sounds like the sarcastic pedant guy from the YouTube CinemaSins... It's extremely smug and irritating.
