Simple steps to make a big difference

More than other books, this one helped me understand which elements in my work I need to sharpen for impact and when certain key events should take place.

Great third book

At first, the new narrator's voice throw me and put me off. After a whole chapter I got used to him and completely enjoyed this book.

The narrator was perfect for Synders words.

Blake Snyder was quite a character, and this narrator had the perfect intonation for his words. It sounded like Christian Slater from Kuffs at times, which made the telling of the story even better.

inspirational

an excellent follow up to Save the Cat. Even though i don't agree with everything Blake Snyder says, his arguements are sound and his main message, understand your story, is delivered well.

Blake snyder has got it right.

Would you consider the audio edition of Save the Cat! Strikes Back to be better than the print version?

He has great tips and advice on screenwriting business in general in this second series of save the cat book. The performace of this audio is great. I gave 3 stars because it was too long for the content.

What does MacLeod Andrews bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Exitment, quirkiness.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No

Just read the original again

Doesn’t say much new. Still good but the original said it all really. Buy it to listen about his journey not to learn anything new
