 the west wing outstanding
it was a sad day in the gump household when the west wing came to an end. but, with the many books and dvd's one can still get that great american feeling that president bartlett and that gang brought on.
A must-read for anyone interested in scriptwriting
The superb writing that underpins the success of this magnificent series is revealed. It's impossible to read the lines without the voices of the actors' in your head but that's ok. Sorkin would have written those characters with no thought to who would have played them and it just goes to show what a flawless job they did with the casting. I've played The West Wing 1-7 twice already and look forward to watching them all again soon.
 A damn good read...
I had resisted the lure of The West Wing for several years, aided chiefly by the crappy scheduling of the Australian TV networks who insisted on putting this show on at bad times and out of order (OK, rant over). During a bout of the flu last year, I succumbed to watching the first season on DVD. Three days later I was at the end of season 4 and completely hooked.
Whilst waiting for my next fix, I came across this book and it's companion volume (the Season 3/4 script-book). Reading the scripts took me straight back to the episodes in question - I could picture it all so clearly. The actors' voices flew out of the pages and brought the scenes to life in my head. My one gripe would be that Sorkin's insights and background info are a little light on the ground except at the beginning of the book (for comparison, check out the official Babylon 5 scriptbooks from J Michael Straczynski).
If you are a die-hard fan of the show or have more than a passing interest in shooting scripts, you need these in your collection.
Great fun!
"The West Wing Script Book" is a must for fans of this fabulous show! It's great to see the scripts and to see what the actors worked with. If you've seen the episodes, you'll be able to imagine all of the scenes and mannerisms. Just wonderful. I recommend.
Awesome
Sorkin is the master of the fast-paced choppy dialog, that was so popular with films in the 50's. But unlike those films, the words have more of a wit to them. The characters are so well developed, you can feel what the next line is going to be before you read it.
