I don't agree with all of it, but it has good sentences to help you check in with yourself while writing.

As the synopsis says, this book is a must read for anyone who wants to know about the movie industry, but a few novel writers also recommended this book to understand the structure and substance of story, which was why I picked it up. This book is dense with information. I thought I was going to get lost, but McKee introduces each element layer by layer, and ensures that any important point is threaded in the new lesson, and repeated constantly. I would say one of the things I found daunting was that it was too thick and full of information, but that this information is helpful makes me appreciate it even more.
For writers who have trouble with characters, structure or pacing, I suggest picking this book. It can be hard to go through, but it is definitely rewarding.

Весьма подробный и вроде бы толковый учебник по написанию сценариев. Для праздного читателя во многом излишний.

A pretty good book at showing you some of the gears of what makes stories work.
