Summary: Mythology gives insight into Movie story-telling
Review: This book will tell you how the most successful stories in history are written. How did George Lucas decide on the plot for "Star Wars"? Why do certain movies work so well? This book is a must for any screenwriter. It outlines the story structure which is inherant to humanity, and engrained in our culture.

Summary: Great Book!
Review: This book's a bit controversial among established writers, and I know wonderful and successful writers on both sides of this fence. It seems you either "get" this book and can use it, or you don't. Personally, I love it. But then, I love movies and plotting and dissecting stories to figure out why they work or don't work. You have to decide for yourself.

Summary: Bases on the work of Joseph Campbell
Review: This is Christopher Vogler's interpretation of Mystic Structures for Storytellers & Screenwriters.I have not yet applied this book yet it was a real eye opener. This book is not only for the aspiring writer but is a good insight to existing stories and movies. The content goes way beyond Campbell with contemporary movies as subjects. He covers heroes and journeys down to a science. I think I'll put the story together first then come back to this book for the polish. If nothing else this is a good companion to "The Lord of the Rings"

Summary: If you write, read this
Review: Vogler has deciphered Campbell and put forth the concepts and structure in a way that is accessible to all storytellers. This book not only works as a brilliant guideline for writing fiction, but also serves as a template for tightening and polishing stories so as to make them work on both entertainment and literary levels. A remarkable text.

Summary: If you don't have it already, get it now!!!
Review: What started out as a memo at Disney studios is now the industry standard. A must have for beginers. A helpful source for those horrible late night blank screens. An excelent structure guide.
