Absolutely phenomenal. Says the same basic principle as Lennon: screenplay books can't teach you shit-- a good cinematic story is worth money in Hollywood, and if someone thinks your story can make them money, you will sell your script. Lennon is far more interested in collaboration and taking notes and acting professional, whereas Eszterhas is far more interested in telling people to fuck off and instead commanding attention based on ability to tell an interesting story. Both stress that there's no method to selling a script at all, and even less of a method to getting it made, so people claiming there is one are just trying to steal your money.

Both are really awesome, funny, and honest reads.
