Summary: Worth the Money
Comment: I've read several books that explained how to follow the three-act structure in writing a movie or play.

But Jeff Sweet's books include specific ideas writers can use to improve their work line by line.

Negotiation over objects, the power of the unspoken word and violation of rituals are some of the devices Sweet explores in his book.

Each idea is amply illustrated with scenes written by students which are accompanied by Sweet's comments.

This book will enable you to improve your work as a playwright/screenwriter.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great Addition To Scriptwriting Library
Comment: Jeff's book is a welcome and helpful addition to a playwright's library. It's a book that I refer to often. It's a great companion to The Dramatists' Toolkit.

Rating: 5
Summary: Another great book for playwrights!
Comment: I didn't think Jeffrey Sweet could top The Dramatist's Toolkit, which is full of insightful analyses of well known plays and related advice to playwrights. Solving Your Script is equally engaging and useful. It comes at the subject of playwriting from another perspective. It, too, is full of advice, but it also offers not just writing exercises, but samples of completed exercises with detailed critiques. I admire the practical, specific ideas in both of Sweet's books, and I recommend them both.
