Title: How to Write a Script in 30 Days

Author: Ken Davenport

Narrator: Ken Davenport

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 32 mins

Language: English

Release date: 10-02-17

Publisher: Davenport Theatrical Enterprises

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film

Publisher's Summary:

All of the greatest creators, from Beethoven to Edison, had something in common. They didn't just create stuff. They created a ton of stuff. That's why I'm a big believer that producers should produce more, directors should direct more, and, of course, writers should write more.

The funny thing is, too many writers I know just can't finish a script. Maybe they have ideas, and maybe they write a few scenes, but they don't get to the end. Or maybe they've never written anything and are too afraid to start! That's why I wrote this book, which guarantees you'll have a finished script, whether or not you've ever written anything before!

That's right. In only one month, you can go from a blank page to a completed script, ready to be staged. Just imagine...you'll have a full script in your hands (or a Producer's hands) by the end of this month if you start today! So what are you waiting for?

Clever and thoughtful

A clever look at deeper issues in the series. Why don't the Ledas resemble Kendall? How are the clones different? What kind of research did the creators do? WIth loads of first-person interviews with the two producers and the real Cosima, this fan guide reveals all the best "making of" tidbits from concept to conclusion.

The Science of Orphan Black a sublime five-star read

The Science of Orphan Black a sublime five-star read. This is a companion novel and thatâs something I havenât really read before, but this one intrigued me as I loved Orphan Black and was raving about it when it first came out and kept telling people they had to watch it. The science behind it all has always fascinated me as I am a total science nerd, and I had some ideas about how it all worked and was always trying to figure stuff out before it was revealed, and this book blew my mind.

Itâs a total Nerdvana you can get to grips with the science in the comfort of where ever you are reading. You can learn more about the Dyad institute and also the history and theories behind the science. If you enjoyed the series you will love the book. I even loved the way the book is set out, revealing more with every page. If you like science you will love this and if you like orphan black you will love this!! I loved it so much I have the e-book but I plan on buying the paperback as well, just to see if its set any differently.

Brilliant Book

This book adds so much depth to the Orphan Black TV series. It very much helped me make sense of the changes in focus from season to season - for example, now I understand the season long journey into Brightborn. Now I see where gene editing fits into the whole. Now I understand how the children of the clones could have accelerated healing powers. And so much more.

The writers don't dumb the science down. They use accurate vocabulary to explain all the concepts. The writing style is accessible and easy to follow, even when the science is complex.

The book covers everything about science in Orphan Black with real examples, historical references, and specific examples involving characters in the story.

Certain lines from the script, certain conversations, were used to explain in depth what was happening. A sentence from Cosima or a remark by Scott or Susan Duncan could result in pages of information about what it meant.

Stranger Nerds

Would you listen to Notes from the Upside Down again? Why?

This was a fun book about the TV series. Although the narrator was kind of annoying (in my opinion) it was interesting to hear all the elements of the show; what inspired it, the meaning behind the music and character development! Really cool if you liked Stranger Things!

pointless book

nothing insightful here. the writer seemed full of himself and was very annoying. it was like the book was written just to get sales from stranger things fans.

Title: I'll Have What She's Having

Subtitle: How Nora Ephron's Three Iconic Films Saved the Romantic Comedy

Author: Erin Carlson

Narrator: Pippa Armstrong

Format: Unabridged

Length: 10 hrs and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-29-17

Publisher: Hachette Audio

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 20 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film

Publisher's Summary:

In I'll Have What She's Having, entertainment journalist Erin Carlson tells the story of the real Nora Ephron and how she reinvented the romcom through her trio of instant classics. With a cast of famous faces including Reiner, Hanks, Ryan, and Crystal, Carlson takes listeners on a rollicking, revelatory trip to Ephron's New York City, where reality took a backseat to romance and Ephron - who always knew what she wanted and how she wanted it - ruled the set with an attention to detail that made her actors feel safe but sometimes exasperated crew members.

Along the way Carlson examines how Ephron explored in the cinema answers to the questions that plagued her own romantic life and how she regained faith in love after one broken engagement and two failed marriages. Carlson also explores countless other questions Ephron's fans have wondered about: What sparked Reiner to snap out of his bachelor blues during the making of When Harry Met Sally? Why was Ryan, a gifted comedian trapped in the body of a fairy-tale princess, not the first choice for the role? After she and Hanks each separately balked at playing Mail's Kathleen Kelly and Sleepless' Sam Baldwin, what changed their minds? And perhaps most importantly: What was Dave Chappelle doing...in a turtleneck? An intimate portrait of one of America's most iconic filmmakers and a look behind the scenes of her crowning achievements, I'll Have What She's Having is a vivid account of the days and nights when Ephron, along with assorted cynical collaborators, learned to show her heart on the screen.

Members Reviews:

Good story, bad reading

I so enjoyed the insider stories about the making of these movies and about the development of Nora Ephrons filmmaking career that I was willing to overlook some elements that grated. In particular, I was often taken aback by Erin Carlsons seeming assumption that the books readers are all millennials who need to have everybody born before about 1960 explained to them and in their terms. Nora Ephron is like Taylor Swift, really?

Much as I admire Nora Ephron, I seriously question Carlsons premise that she saved the romantic comedy movie. She doesnt even really try to make her case, so I guess its just a provocative subtitle to grab readers. Finally, I just dont see Youve Got Mail as being in the same league as When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle. Maybe other people feel differently. After reading the book, I think I will now need to see the movie again. I admit I only watched it once and have never felt any urge to stop and watch it again if I happen to come across it while channel surfingunlike the other two movies.

Despite my criticisms, I enjoyed the book because its an anecdote-fest about interesting people. I always enjoy reading about the details of how scripts, casting and production came together, and thats here in spades. Lots of stories about the big names, Ephron, Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, but many more about other names in the business from Rob Reiner down to Ephrons regular prop guy, assistant and her friends and family. And a ton of stories about sets and location filming, especially in New York. Carlson does a very good job with this, so that you feel like youre in the production.

I listened to the Audible version of the book.

Title: Dragons of Westeros: A Critical Look at the Beasts of Game of Thrones

Language: English

Release date: 08-21-17

Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 4 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film

Publisher's Summary:

Full of daring theories and fascinating tales from the world of Ice and Fire, Dragons of Westeros: A Critical Look at the Beasts of Game of Thrones provides a riveting account of the origins and mysteries of dragons in A Song of Ice and Fire. Drawing on the wealth of fantasy literature to differentiate George R.R. Martin's beasts from those of other authors, this audiobook explores how the dragons came to be, what caused their disappearance in the first place, and what not so obvious repercussions will their revival bring to Westeros.

A perfect gift for fans of the TV show, as well as the audiobook series, Dragons of Westeros: A Critical Look at the Beasts of Game of Thrones serves as both an introduction, and an accompaniment to the existing media. If you want to find out how the World of Ice and Fire came to be, or what might happen next, this is the place to be!

Members Reviews:

Dragons...... absolutely fascinating. ...

Dragons......absolutely fascinating. To find out where they came from and what happened through history. I have always wanted to know about their story. GOT requires that you know the history of many ideas ti understand the stories. This book does it!

I'm very glad I didn't pay for this...

... it was free via Kindle Unlimited.

This "book" is not at all true to its subtitleâwhich states that it is: "A Critical Look at the Beasts of Game of Thrones".

It is simply a hodge-podge of material lifted from various sources such as: the first five books of ASOIAF and more recently published work,"The World of Ice and Fire". Additionally, the author throws in descriptions of some scenes (those which included the dragons ) from the TV series (ending at the conclusion of Season 6).

I'm surprised that this even exists. When one considers how closely this "Critical Look" resembles plagiarism. The author plays the game many students sadly become adept at & continue right into their adult lives: representing that which is supposed to be their original work, while in reality it's simply a regurgitation of another's words and ideas.

If the above is not bad enough: it is rife with both grammatical and spelling errors.

It's incredible what gets published these days. Overall, a sad commentary on our times...

Poorly written and factually wrong

There are lots of fascinating details about the dragons and frontiers of Wedteros, and even more that can be gleaned from indirect details given in Martin's short stories and Worlds of Ice and Fire. You won't find any of that in this book. It's just a lazy, poorly written summary Aegon's conquest and the Dance of the Dragons, followed by a summary of Daenerys' narrative in the show. Furthermore, it gets a lot of important details grossly wrong, so it's not even useful as a reference summary. It really is written like a junior high school book report. I wish I could give it negative stars.

Needs an editor

This short little booklet was written like a junior high book report. It merely summarizes information taken from other sources. There are many spelling and grammatical errors throughout.

A little disappointed.

It is a Small paperback book. I'm not much of a book reader but this I finished fairly quickly. I was surprised when it came on how small it was. Entertaining but not greatly. I have seen/heard of half the information in this already anyway since it isn't long/big. . A little disappointed.

I returned it. It shouldn't be sold as a book --- it's the size of a pamphlet.

Three Stars

I thought it was trivia questions.

Don't Bother

waste of money, but it was my own fault since I didn't spend enough time reading the product description.

Title: The Devil Finds Work

Subtitle: An Essay

Author: James Baldwin

Narrator: Dion Graham

Format: Unabridged

Length: 3 hrs and 41 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-08-17

Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 5 votes

Genres: Arts & Entertainment, TV & Film

Publisher's Summary:

Baldwin's personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also a probing appraisal of American racial politics.

Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist.

Here are our loves and hates, biases and cruelties, fears and ignorance reflected by the films that have entertained us and shaped our consciousness. And here too is the stunning prose of a writer whose passion never diminished his struggle for equality, justice, and social change.

Members Reviews:

Emotional and cerebral

This collection of critiques by James Baldwin is very informative and is extremely saturated; I really think for people who want to review movies and get into movie analysis, these three chapters, almost 120 pages in length should be deeply studied for people who want to become film critics and film analysis for an intensive really long time.

This essay does demonstrate Baldwins strength of very saturated text and also somebody who can make this very profound philosophical statements. While he talks about race relations, he does talk about economics, politics and sexism, He does it in a very fair and balanced way not victimizing anyone and being very truthful to the American seen in its problems, and how film can be a propaganda, A meta, And escapism from problems in America during the 1970s (when this essay was written) and prior.

Dion Graham is a very great voice for the pros of James Baldwin. He does have a lot of discipline and self-control reading the prose: He does show the emotions in the words and he understands the writing very well; unlike the invisible man, where the narrator of the invisible man Does nuances as chuckle when it is not in the text and almost takes too much of a creative license, Dion Graham reading this essay by James Baldwin he does have trueness in exposition in the emotions and the much cynicism in Baldwins critiques.

I do feel that this is one of his best collection of essays. I do like that its not completely about race relations so he does venture into new territory for himself and it is something that while being not that long in length, if you really studied this work and take a lot of notes on why its good and how It can help you if you decide to do Film critics and film analysis, I work like this will give you a last steps forward to go in.

I am an avid fan of Game of Thrones. When I found this book, I didn't hesitate to download this book and it was really worth the read! I had a great time reading and learning at the same time from this book. I get to know the characters even more and I couldn't help making my own theories as well. The theories written by the author are quite possible. This just gets even more exciting! I can't wait to know what will happen next to these two masterminds of Westeros.

Different Perspective

It gives interesting backgrounds for Varys and Littlefinger that you really don't get in either the books or the movie. It is someone's opinion and not necessarily correct! Still, an enjoyable read.

nice to

short story, nice to read

Omg good reading

A FAN

Enjoyed reading about the two master minds behind the Game of Thrones.The book is a nice, short read while waiting for the next novel. It so sad that the writers from the tv show haven't read this book. If they did, they would have had a better understanding of these 2 characters.
