The Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers by Christopher Vogler
informative
slow-paced
3.25
It's a neat guide book through the Hero's Journey and a good point of reference for future writing.
But I have to admit I wasn't engaged for majority of this book. The examples of films and narratives are extremely outdated, which is a shame for a book that teaches mainly through examples.
I want to think that I will open this book one day when struggling with a piece of writing but the truth is I will probably find better resources online. I have a vague inkling that I should be rating this book lower, maybe my averagely high opinion of it will change with time.
