"Landau keeps each chapter surprisingly short, while packing them with as much information as possible...If you're looking for something more educational than entertaining, The Screenwriter'sRoadmap is a fantastic book to pick up for anyone looking to start his or her own masterpiece." -Blog Critics, www.blogcritics.org "It's easy to see how Mr. Landau is the screenwriting Professor at both UCLA and USC. His knowledge is vast and extremely discernible within the pages of The Screenwriter's Roadmap. It is absolutely one of the best books written on the subject and should be on every screenwriter's and filmmaker's bookshelf! Highly Recommended." -The Film Monthly, www.filmmonthly.com "As an aspiring screenwriter myself, and I tell you - I have gone through many screenwriting books from The Writer's Journey to the Save the Cat series, Neil Landau's guide is certainly one of the best texts I have read in regards to the screenwriting business." -Digital Hippos, www.digitalhippos.com "The best screenwriting books aim to inflame that thought process, opening dialogue and creating discussion. This is far more helpful that a set of regimented rules. And that is exactly what Neil Landau had in mind. I won't bury the lead: The Screenwriter's Roadmap is an excellent release...The Screenwriter's Roadmap is not only extremely informative but, frankly, it's also a genuine page turner." -Showbiz Monkeys, www.showbizmonkeys.com
