I don't write screenplays. Short stories and poetry are my thing, but I saw this in the library and picked it up on impulse because I'm interested in the way other writers work in other forms/genres.

Hauge's explanations are clear, and I appreciate that he goes into why something should be done such a way. It seems like an extremely useful, highly practical guide to writing screenplays - and some of it is very, very interesting. I'd never understood the three act structure before, but I do now and I find it fascinating.
