This is a nice book to offer up important information if you have some silly desire to try to write a screenplay. It gives you plenty of basic information concerning proper formatting and how to deal with your ideas.
Although it doesn't write it for you, if you happen to be serious about joining the (probably) millions that are trying to break into the business, it's a good start.

A disjointed reference book made by an educated person. Lots of general advice that has no flow. 30/60/30. blah blah.

Could have been better. I found it lacking. Trottier's book has been of more value to me.
