Media Reviews
"This sober, no-nonsense volume offers a scene-by-scene breakdown of the process by which Irving translated his least cinematic-seeming novel...into a shootable screenplay....[P]ractically [a] technical primer for turning novels into movies. A charming, sublimely written technical primer--Irving is a pitch-perfect stylist who could turn a VCR instruction manual into an irresistible page-turner--but a primer just the same."
