Format:Paperback
This was recommended by Amazon, based on purchase history. Customer reviews were good so I bought it.
This is probably the best book I've bought on writing. It's clear in its structure and if this is used by the "big boys and girls" for templating, then it will definately help the rest of us.
It covers screen and novel writing in equal measure, since the templates can easily be applied to both.
Even if you are a writer already, compare the template ideas to what you've written already. Watch some of the films he recommends and see how they compare with the ideas in this book.
Great buy. Wish I'd got it years ago!

Format:Paperback
The book is terrific but just a warning for those who are a bit short-sighted - the print is very small and very pale - in contrast to the earlier, heavy-type editions. Don't know what the publisher was thinking of.

As the sages say, "When the student is ready, the teacher will come." I was ready for this important book, after successfully writing for nearly 20 years, and learned more about the process than in all the courses and workshops I've attended. I highly recommend the book. I'm encouraging my writing students, colleagues and writing friends to get a copy. If you write, you need to read this book.

The story that unfolds every time
For all writers out there this is a must. It is also a lot of fun to watch movies and see this Mythic structure unfold, time and time again.

It works, it's clear, it'll help sort the jumbled mess of a story in your head into a readable piece of art on paper.

Excellent
This book is fantastic if you are struggling with structure. As good as, if not better than Robert McKee's Story. I highly recommend it for novelists as well as screen writers.

Writer's Journey: Mythic Structure for Writers
Great book, really liked reading it. However Joseph Campbell's 'The Hero With A Thousand Faces" is much more profound in terms of myth and symbols explanation.
