[ 5.0 stars ] "I bought this book to help me design better. Be believer in narrative designing. Switching from architecture to HCI and think this will help me get the leg up in empathy designing.But this book is massive. Like it would probably take me 8 hours a day for three weeks to finish. I don't think I will ever finish this book, just reference sections. ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "THE SEVEN BASIC PLOTS by Christopher Booker is a provocative book. The basic idea is that any story can be boiled down to one of seven plots:Overcoming the MonsterRags to RichesThe QuestVoyage and ReturnComedyTragedyRebirthWhat is excellent about this book is the amount of learning involved and the interesting connections made between authors as disparate as Jane Austen and Luigi Pirandello.

[ 5.0 stars ] "I can't say I've yet finished it. But it's one of the few books that I've read that have really shifted substantially how I think about books. I caught myself talking a few days ago in Booker's language about Game of Thrones, and how it violates our core notions of storytelling. I'll expand when I finish, but it's magnificent so far. ..."

[ 5.0 stars ] "I enjoyed The Seven Basic Plots: Why We Tell Stories. But I also agreed with reviewer Allen Smalling below who says he "felt that underneath this persnickety and overwrought tome of literary archetypes and movements lies a slimmer, more cogent and helpful book screaming to be let out."So I wrote The Inner Game of Screenwriting to do precisely that. A much slimmer volume that refers to modern movie ..." Courtesy by Amazon
