Everyone who has ever thought about writing or working in Hollywood will want to read this book. These are the personal and often outrageous adventures of a veteran screenwriter who has worked extensively for the major studios, as well as with major directors such as Richard Donner and James Cameron. There are abundant writing lessons to be learned here, but life lessons, as well. In fact, this story is about getting over Hollywood, more than just getting into Hollywood. Readers looking past the material or superficial (e. g. , celebrity) for something more meaningful in their lives, will find this book truly uplifting. If youre thinking of being a screenwriter, jamming all your possessions into a subcompact and driving cross-country, then it behooves you to read Carters experiences. Tim CliftonRenaissance Magazine
