Lots of fun to read, August 4, 2008

By	BookGobbler "Kathleen" (Nebraska)

On the back cover, there is an quote that says "What a great idea for a book" -- and it is. I liked the unique story lines -- it IS too bad that they aren't films, because they would be really good. I have read screenplays before and they are really hard to get through because of the way the descriptions are written. This book has descriptive and narrative copy that was originally directions for the screenplay, but it has been reformatted into the story and it helps you visualize the setting and the characters. It is way easier and WAY more fun to read than a screenplay! I like short stories too -- I think it plays into both of my favorites. Movies and short stories. I can't wait for the next ones. In the back of the book it says there are 10 more coming. The publisher calls it Read-A-Movie -- and it really was a different experience. I liked it a lot.

Entertaining book -- very different concept, August 15, 2008

By	J. Beals (Omaha)

I purchased this book because I enjoy short stories and it also had a logo that intrigued me -- Read-A-Movie. I have read many screenplays, which are not usually easy reads. These stories are screenplays written by award winning screenwriters, which were not listed on the Amazon page. Because I was familiar with one of the screenwriters, this was a nice surprise. Another really cool feature of the book that Jack Young (the creator of the Read-A-Movie idea) added was to put in a page of the "backstory" which is what the screenwriter was thinking when they wrote the screenplay and who they envisioned in the roles. That was my favorite part of the book because I could envision what the writer was envisioning. I think the authors are important to know: Sheila Brothers and Roxanne Marchand, J.L. Chaka, Karen Hicks (I love her work and this story), and Jackie L. Young.

Favorite Book Of All Time!
"This is a wonderful book! The stories are incredibly heartwarming. After reading the book at home I had to share it! I work with 80 Developmentally Disabled adults. We have Book Club every morning from 7:30 to 9:00 a.m. As you can imagine it is difficult to hold their attention, but they got very involved with each story and couldn't wait to hear more each day! They laughed, they cried, they even cheered! Thank you for such a great family oriented book and for touching the hearts and minds of 80 very special people. They ask me several times a week “when will they come out with another book?” We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of your next book! Keep them coming!!"
