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

4.0

---

Carefully thought out and written, Vogler gives an incredible and thorough look at the core of every story structure.

He highlights the main 8 character archetypes and the 12 stages every main character goes through. He meticulously looks at each subcategory and outlines them with little room for a straying imagination.

While some of his references and examples are dated (this Millennial didn’t understand some) most of his comparisons come from classics just about anyone can recognize!

This is a wonderful book for those wanting to understand the art of story telling!
