Treatment
 The Treatment $7.99 Mo Hayder was probably out of good ideas, so he did like about 12 other authors I read this year: invent a sadistic pedophile, and write long and boring insights into the tortured psyche of the detective pursuing him. No originality, way too long, and most of the book is not about the case the hero is working on, but about his and his girlfriends tortured pasts and their difficult relationship. When I want to read about psychiatric cases, I'll buy a book written by an expert, not by a stumbling amateur who pretends to be one. The only bit of suspense is waiting for the hereo to stop being so clueless and do his job properly.  Writing Treatments That Sell: How to Create and Market Your Story Ideas to the Motion Picture and TV Industry, Second Edition $17.00 I've been writing scripts for years but this still helped me get a better handle on how to write great treatments, synopses, etc. I have more ideas than scripts so it gave me more confidence to put my new script ideas in a format where I can pitch them or submit and look professional. There is a lot of good, useful information in this book.  Advantage Once-A-Month Topical Flea Treatment for Cats Over 9 Lbs (6 Applications) $67.99 Advantage is a good product that kills fleas dead. Unfortunately, my cats had to wait 4 days beyond the promised arrival date for the package to arrive. |
