Title: very good
Review: Table of contents includes: Awesome power of myth, hero and evil one, the journey begins; death, rebirth and the confrontation with the evil one, the hero returns, tragic heroes/comic heroes. There are many books out now on this subject- adaptingThe Hero's Journey: Joseph Campbell on His Life and Work (The Collected Works of Joseph Campbell)to a template. This is NOT formula writing, this is far more flexible than that. The mythic structure is the basis of all successful movies and stories, though no one story has all 22 elements. Of course all myths follow mythic structure also.The Writers Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers, 3rd Editionis another book that covers the same material. This is a good guidebook, to conforming a story to mythic structure. I liked it enough to send it to my wife's sister, who wants to write a novel.
