Review:I slogged through the first half of this book and finally gave up. It's just stultifyingly dull. I was reading it as one of those classics that everybody has read, and I remember liking Lawrence's The Rainbow in college, but life is too short for me to bother finishing this one. Read more

Review:A great little satire filled with wit, sarcasm and ultimately distress. Candide lives a life of artificial optimism which ultimately turns to distress, rejection of religion and a decision to "cultivate one's garden". Candide Finds an idyllic place called El Dorado and leaves there a very wealthy man only to slide to near poverty. A delightful and thoughtful novel well worth the small investment of time.

Review:This book is a treasury of relevant scientific theories and findings; none of the wishy washy vague nonsense they teach in other books, this is practical real world advice, that tries to back itself up with science, and is honest about itself. The exercises are all explained, so that the reader knows the how and why, and they work. This is a must have for anyone wanting to improve their art, regardless of the level they may be at.

Review:The workbook doesn’t go with the book. They are two different editions. The exercises from the book are completely different from the ones in the workbook. Very confusing. Makes workbook a waste of money. Read more

Review:Every screenwriter should start by reading this book and using it as guide throughout their writing. The title says it all, it really is a Screenwriter's Bible, the best book written on formatting and guiding the writer through the process to tell their story in a format that will sell. Read more

Review:Michael Prescott always delivers, but Shiver has to be one of his best.
Just when you think the heroine has managed to escape by the skin
of her teeth AGAIN, the bad guy pops up out of nowhere, and he is
uber-creepy! Read more

Review:I am no intellectual, and stumbled upon this book through a ladies' magazine article asking celebs what they were reading. Elizabeth Shue, whose talent I really enjoy, mentioned Letters to a Young Poet. The book is for the open-minded and the big- hearted, teachable few that possess the intellectual chops to parse and absorb the beauty of Rilke's words and insight. It is both a comfort and an inspiration. I LOVE this book. Buy it, and share some time with it, and yourself. Read more
