Writing Great Characters : The Psychology of Character Development in Screenplays

Book Description
The author has developed an easy to understand, logical system which gives all screen writers a foolproof and failproof method of developing great characters.Customer Reviews:
Don't bother.......2003-10-08
More than pleased with this book........1998-07-25
What's so good about Halperin's book? For one thing, he doesn't talk down to you as a screenwriter. In fact, he presumes that you know what you are doing. Imagine that! So he's not going to hold your hand through the elementary parts of introductory screenwriting. Try Syd Field for that. Instead, Halperin shows the already competent writer how to improve his or her script's ultimate impact by significantly improving characterization.
Although I may agree that script consultant Linda Seger's books are excellent and beneficial, it should be pointed out that she has never written a single screenplay in her life.! Dr. Halperin is a =working= writer in the film industry, and his book is a winner. Enough said.
Do NOT buy this awful book........1998-06-17
Good information, but not the best reference on the subject.......1997-09-06

A Gamut of Games
Sid Sackson Manufacturer: Random House ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0394426169 |
Customer Reviews:
A Must Read for all Game Players.......2003-08-27
Outstanding - lots of great new games for you to play.......1999-05-03
The games are a mixture of "forgotten" games, new games invented by friends of Sid, as well as lots of games invented by the author. Many of these games have subsequently been published in a boxed format by major companies, but this book gives you a chance to try them out at no cost.
There are simple games, solitaire games, serious strategy games, party games for 20 or more people, and everything in-between.
My favourites in the collection include a 2 player card game of pure skill ("Mate"), a card game that resembles Canasta but which is rather more fun ("Paks"), a scrabble-like pencil and paper game ("CrossWords"), and a game called Focus that is 2 or 4 player strategy game that weakly resembles a cross between checkers and Shogi.
If you love games, then you should have this book. If you don't, then buying this book just might change your mind!
Excellent book with many original games.......1999-04-11
It is true that any Hoyle will give you instant access to many games, but all these games somehow have something special.
My own favorite is Haggle, a delightfull party game for birthday parties.
definitely, a classic.......1996-09-25

Incidentally, years after purchasing this book, I took a database marketing course in my MBA program that was taught by the wife of one of the authors. Like the book, the course didn't offer much either. I ended up scrapping the book -- not passing it on, but tossing it -- shortly after that.
