Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need by Blake Snyder
2.5
To preface, I had to read this for a class and so my opinion of the book may have been biased from the start simply because I didn’t willingly choose to read this.
While this might be helpful for learning the basics of storytelling and screenwriting, the author’s condescending attitude is infuriating and this book often feels like more of an excuse for him to brag about how great he is than an outlet for actual advice. He often refers to the Disney movie Blank Check as his credentials, and if you look up any review of that movie on YouTube you’ll find out why I stopped trusting this guy as soon as he dropped that title.
