Save the Cat 3 – Review – Sort Of

Martin Blank

I just finished STC3. The book is one hell of a third act. More than I could possibly expect.

Totally brilliant.

Blake gives us SO much in the last book…and up to the last few pages...he saves the best for last.

Thanks Blake, wherever you are, for making life better...one person at a time.

Much love,
Martin

I don't have it yet. I imagine when we've all read it, it'll be like the Windows 7 commercial with everyone identifying their various contributions: "That was my idea!"

How can I be the only one that has read the new book so far?!

Cheers,

I just got my copy of Blake's new book today around 5, finished it up in one sitting.
And, as always, Blake delivered a third act FINALE worthy of next year's Oscar....
Incredible and saturated with so much wisdom, it'll take 4 or 5 more readings to absorb it all.
This book, like the others, is short, but dense and layered.
It's obvious Blake took a lot of time to capture and organize and use "THE BOARD" to organize this book so it would deliver maximum impact.
Because of his book, I am now revamping my STC Film Review series to accommodate the new information and knowledge.

It's on my Christmas list. If I don't scrape up the cash and buy it sooner. Very Happy

My local Borders didn't have it. I don't know how it's possible, but it doesn't even register in their computer system even though they sell Blake's other books and most of the MWP books. So I'm ordering it.

Brilliant book. More of an inspirational piece this time. But man, does it motivate! Aside from the "go get 'em!" words, he has good tools.

My favorites:
7 points for a perfect pitch.
5 beats to finish every story strong.
And finally describing the difference between an agent and a manager!

Anyone know when this is out in Britain? I can't find it on Amazon.co.uk and the postage is huge from the US. But I might just have to pay it. Smile

I've found the folks at MWP to be very courteous and helpful. I'm sure if you contact them to find out when the book will be available in your country, they will respond promptly.
