I'm always fascinated by story structure, and patterns and methodologies to write. Yes, this book borrows heavily from Joseph Campbell, as well as other story structuring/screenwriting tips, but the way Edson puts it together is probably the best I've seen.
The way each of the 23 actions is brought up, explained, then illustrated with various different movies is really helpful and illuminating. It's an intriguing premise, and I do want to see if it applies to virtually every movie, as show more claimed.
I'm also very much interested in attempting to construct at least one story using the framework, just to see if I can. show less
