Average Rating:
 Rating:  - somewhat disappointingThis book has received many positive reviews so maybe my expectations were simply too high. I did not find this book particularly inspiring. It is focused on character building which is good, but I found it sometimes repeating itself. The analogies to natural science should be ignored. A few plays are analysed and used to show the authors point, but if you're unfamiliar with these then the book looses some value.

I'm currently reading it for the second time because it can be quite hard work at first. There have been mountains of books written on this subject but Egri's is the best despite being penned more than half a century again. A must for anyone serious about writing drama. Rating: - Invaluable advice from a geniusI must have nearly 20 books on the subject of writing fiction. But two books stand out; this and Egri's other book - The Art Of creative Writing. They are miles ahead of anything else I've read. Buy them, read them and reread them again and again... and you will be become a better writer. Rating: - AdvancedDon't buy this as your first introduction to dramatic writing. But if you've read Syd Field and the others, this one will take you way beyond. It might be daunting, but it will sure open your eyes to the demands of writing good drama. Browse for similar items by category:
