The script was a great read. It had some differences from the movie which made it interesting. I wish shipping wasn’t so slow, but overall satisfied.

Senaryoyu sevdim, özellikle karakterler arasındaki diyaloglar çok gerçekçi. Bazı sayfalarda yazılar biraz solmuştu ama hikaye büyüleyici. Hızlı gönderimi bekliyordum fakat birkaç gün geç geldi.

The script book has good quality paper. The dialogue is well written and adds depth. I was surprised by how small it was when it arrived. But still a great buy if you’re a fan of the movie.
