    helpful, comprehensive, easy to read

    I am currently writing a screenplay. It's a comedy. This book starts by highligtening the basic elements of comedy in cinema, but its strongest point is describing (to details) what makes each comedy sub-genre special: romantic comedy, teen comedy, black comedy, satire, etc. Also, each chapter ends with a helpful list of exercises / points to reflect on. It's very easy to read, and you can skip directly to the chapters that relate to your needs. The only "fault" of this book is that it dosen't blow you away. It's a usefull guide - nothing more, nothing less.
