The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers by Christopher Vogler

I'd be honest and say I have a very difficult relationship with this book because practically it is a retell of Campbell's work, but at the same time, it has some honesty of its own. Vogler dumbs the Hero down, making me wince sometimes, as if I didn't get some obvious points at first, or that I keep forgetting something, but eventually, it has nothing to do with me. It is all about Vogler's execution. The ending is chilling -- Vogler truly used his own structure, not Campbell's to finish it, and as with Lion King it went fine, though this eerie aftertaste is left, and everything seems plainer.

If you don't have stamina or time or courage for the original of this work, but I doubt you don't have those, please, start with the source.
