101 Best Scenes Ever Written: A Romp Through Literature for Writers and Readers
This book occupies an awkward spot between shelves and suffers for it. It is not a writing guide (it's a "romp through literature"), though it is often didactic, but not so much as to be comprehensive or particularly useful as a guide. Nor is it a comparison of books-- there are plenty of movie scripts and plays here. Nor is it a summary of great stories; instead it pulls out the choicest bits and often spoils the rest.
So in that respect it is a book for connoisseurs, but the only ones who can read this with full appreciation and no dread of ruined plot twists and poignant moments are those who have already seen and read everything, and those who frankly have little care for the art of storytelling or (or the hard work of thinking critically about what you read) but are happy to have something to talk about at cocktail hours.
