The West Wing Script Book
- Book Review,
by Aaron Sorkin

Book Description
First-time publication of 6 full scripts from the hit NBC show—winner of 9 Emmy® Awards, including Best Drama writing—selected and introduced by the acclaimed show creator and screenwriter of The American President and A Few Good Men. Here is the first collection of scripts from the show's first two seasons, including the Emmy® Award-winning episode "In Excelsis Deo." The NBC show, named "TV Show of the Year" by Entertainment Weekly, stars Rob Lowe, Dule Hill, Allison Janney, Janel Moloney, John Spencer, Richard Schiff, Bradley Whitford, and Martin Sheen. Reviewers and fans of The West Wing agree that one of the very best aspects of this series is its writing, which blends an unstoppable sense of urgency with strong character development against the background of the day-to-day activities of the highest office in the country. In this book, readers can revisit their favorite episodes, following the fictional American President Bartlet and his key White House staff, his family, and the press as they deal with the urgencies of the moment. As compelling to read as they are to watch, these scripts represent the most complete source for the writers' and creators' visions.

The West Wing Script Book

FROM THE PUBLISHER

FROM THE CRITICS

Mike Duffy - Detroit News and Free Press

The West Wing, the very best show on network television, isn't merely high-quality eye candy. It's also a sublime treat for the ears. Call it NBC's brilliant example of 'Must Hear TV'...Sorkin's happily unabashed verbal theatricality -- whether it flows from a Josh-and-Donna tongue tango, a crackerjack C.J. Cregg press briefing, or one of President Bartlet's showstopping arias of vibrant political oratory -- gives The West Wing a unique, mesmerizing sound all its own.

Rick Kushman - Sacramento Bee

This eloquent, elegant series from TV's best writer, Aaron Sorkin, is no longer just a great show, it's become a national hour of healing. The only remotely reasonable, let alone well-written, political words we hear these days come from the Jed Bartlet administration...[I]t takes issues of substance and makes them understandable, important and still entertaining.

David Zurawik - The Baltimore Sun

Dazzling ... The writing is Sorkin at the top of his game, which is to say it's as good or better than anything on television.
