I have read many screenwriting books. I actually bought this book to write an outline. But the title is not an indication of how to write an outline. It gives a good general knowledge of how to write a good story.
Few good tips in the book.

Useful information

Several times in chapter 3 the narrator says 'casually' rather than 'causally'. It may seem a petty complaint, but those two transposed vowels make the world of difference- cause-and-effect is one of the defining elements of plot.

Well written and important book but...

It met and surpassed my expectations. Practical writing strategies that I truly believe have the potential to improve the quality of your work and its financial rewards.

The most memorable section of the book was a transcript of a brainstorming session between George Lucas and Steven Spielberg as they outlined the character and plot points for Raiders of the Lost Ark before the screenplay was ever written.

The narrator was a perfect fit of authority and passion that I identified with immediately. Brilliant.
