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.

The narrator was perfect for Synders words.

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.

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

Just read the original again
