Save the Cat!: The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need by Blake Snyder
2.5
This book didn't tell me anything new, and the advice in it seems somewhat insubstantial. I found myself spacing out at times because of how little it seemed to be saying. On top of that, I didn't enjoy the self-important writing style after the first few pages.

En tiedä, mitä odotin tältä kirjalta, mutta en ainakaan sitä, mitä siltä sai. Aika sanaton fiilis jäi, koska todella monia asioita en osannut odottaa ollenkaan, vaikka jälkikäteen ajateltuna ne tuntuvat luonnolliselta jatkumolta sille, mitä aiemmin tapahtui. Juonellisesti kiinnostava, mutta lisäksi mukana oli hyvää pohdintaa sukupuolesta ja sen tekemisestä. Kiva myös lukea lesbokulttuurista.
