This book is great for story writers. It was recommended for me by a SToryteller to help me look at how my storytelling could be even better. This book can help anyone who wants to see in their minds and in their writing and through their voice - a better story. Easty to understand, well-written, and you'll think of all the films and stories you've ever seen and be a better judge.
this product came in perfect shape and in a timely manner. couldnt have asked for more. thank you.
My book arrived in good condition on the last possible day. I ordered from thislocation becauseit is not far from NY. My order was processed on the 25th of November and arrived on the 16th of December. The book is in good condition. However, given the te it took I feel surprised. Therefore, if condition is whatmatters to you I recommend this seller, however, if tIme matters then I would think twice.
I understand why McKee is a king in the literary world. When I learned that best selling author Eric Jerome Dickey bought this book, I had to have it and knew whatever the price it had to be worth it. His direction, ideas and instructions are priceless to anyone soaked by the writing of words. It's a book that must be on the desk of anyone sincere about their writing craft. It was and still is a tool I will continue to re-read and implement into my writing. I can't wait to attend one of McKee's live seminars.Author & Poet Rachel BerryFamily Pictures
I would argue your writing could be better. (I think the audio hits home more cleanly but the book is something else).If you LOVE story or just think it might be interesting this book will open your eyes to the power of words.
In the beginning he basically tells you that if you're not going to study your craft you're an idiot. But by purchasing the book you have already proven you will study it so why the heck would he bring that up.Well, as you read on you see very clearly that he can back up any bravado that spews from his lips.
When I first started to read/listen to this (I own both the book and audio book).I thought what a creative writing snob. hehe.The insights he brings to the table about story and how it is crafted has completely altered the way I see every piece of media that ends up in my DVD player, on the big screen, in audio, or in the written word.What a remarkable book.
McKee is obviously a demigod of creative writing and to be perfectly honest. he has EVERY RIGHT to be a creative writing snob.
A spectacle to view, this book will inspire, offend, and completely deconstruct the power of stories with a kind of wisdom that can be found on a rare occasion.If you write and haven't read this. A LOT better, even if it is incredible now.
