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

informative inspiring medium-paced

3.75

I disagree with him on a lot of things. My favorite movies do not fit his ideas of what makes a good movie. I like the slow pace, realness, and tenderness of some films. Of course he brings up how subverting the standard is important, but he still seems to guide the readers towards it. There are some character tropes that I think are completely unnecessary that he emphasizes (particularly the mentor). I am not really interested in making blockbuster movies so I don't know how much of the book I could use in my writing.
