Creative Mythology by Joseph Campbell

4.0

This was a great wrap-up to Joseph Campbell's The Masks of God 4-book series. The first 3 books in the series focus on how all of the mythologies in the world connect. This last book, though, focuses on how mythologies from different countries/areas are unique. For a series that focuses on the similarities of the world's mythologies, this last book initially seems a bit disjointed. However, I think that this was a good move on Campbell's part. It's specifically because the first three books focus on the similarities that it was beneficial to focus on the differences as well. As with the other three books, there were a few parts that seemed a bit slow and dragged on a bit too long. I did enjoy this book, though, and I do recommend the series. (Although it's not necessary to read every book in this series to read one.)
