The advice was practical for the most part and informative. However, the authors tone bothered me. It felt like he was talking down to the audience in a lighthearted way, but ultimately something I don’t like. I still got great value out of it, and it helped me as I co-wrote a film screenplay

As recommended by my film professor, I read it. Did not love it, seemed shallow and inane, but had some most likely good advice! I like that Snyder writes in his own voice so casually. Good start to writing what is most likely base-level, corporate drivel. Structure is scientific in a way, and therefore provides a starting point. Some misogynistic ideas as well.

Definitely cynical, perhaps genius. Deconstructs and then exploits our weakness for a well-structured story.

Very formulaic advice, but there's lots of good stuff hidden in there (along with a decent serving of snark).
