The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers by Christopher Vogler
4.0
I would rank The Writer's Journey up on the must-read books that writers should read. It's a very insightful book, dealing with the Hero's Journey and breaking it down. Vogler uses movies as his examples and while this might be geared towards screenwriters, writers of all genres can read it.
I had thought this was going to be one of those boring, technical books. Luckily, it wasn't. Maybe it's because I love movies and have seen a lot of the movies he's referenced countless times, but I was entertained. It's also very easy to read. People have seen movies than have read books.
The only downside is that the book starts to get a little repetitive and I don't quite understand the last couple of chapters.
Now, excuse while I go write an awesome screenplay!
