Críticas

An amusing and scandal-packed guide to making yourself Hollywood's highest-paid screenwriter... As a peek though a broken window into the mind of one of history's most successful screenwriters, and a guide to getting ahead, it's in a class of its own * Empire * He is without shame, and it is this utter shamelessness that makes his book such rollicking fun... stuffed full of raunchy gossip * Mail on Sunday, Book of the Week * Eszterhas is evidently a master of the game... a writer who has sold his scripts but not his soul **** * Sunday Express * Brimming with great quotations -- Toby Young Leaves no bridge unburned... Pithy and pompous, funny and bitter... hard to put down * Total Film * Addictive... shockingly indiscreet * Metro * Accessible, perceptive, passionate and funny, delivered in the author's characteristic no-holds-barred, visceral, profanity-strewn prose... An indispensable addition to the library of anyone interested in screenwriting or Hollywood folklore * Sunday Times * Punchy, belligerent... hilarious * Guardian *

Reseña del editor

Joe Eszterhas has written some of Hollywood's biggest hits 'Basic Instinct'; 'Flashdance' and walked away with some of the largest writing cheques in the industry's history. In 'The Devil s Guide to Hollywood' he reveals everything he knows about the movies the players, the personalities, the legends and screenwriting itself, revealing all that has inspired, amused and enraged him in Hollywood since his career began. Hilarious, colourful but also practical, this is required reading for anyone who s ever thought of writing for the screen, and for anyone who wants the inside story on the organised insanity of the movie business.
