A Good Source, but not the only book you will ever need. - [23 Nov 2009]
Overall, the book is very good. But it really just gives an intro to each of the topics. For instance, I bought the book primarily to learn how to write comedy. But only 23 pages out of 286 are devoted to that. It's pretty much the same for all the topics...

Isn't It Romantic? - [05 Nov 2004]
I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. Watching stories about cuddly, charismatic couples falling in love can turn this hard-bitten cynic into a mushy puddle of Jell-O in no time. They're this writer's Achilles' heel. You could show me the worst romantic...
