Its a goldmine!
Within two weeks I was able to write first draft of my first feature. Structuring story according to beat sheet gave me clearity I never had before. This book also contain the details about most common problems in scripts and their solutions. I would advise new writers to learn the rules before braking them.
Happy writing friends.
