I have taken writing classes and have read a bit about the craft of writing. I found McKee's book to be an easy read - clearly written and organized and loaded with useful information that I repeatedly reference. Being a poet, I was especially taken with his passing comment regarding writing structure and how poets tend to have a better understanding of structure. I always express it as viewing writing as sculpture - working it until it's right. This book has helped me with form, concise expression, focus with settings, better understanding of genres and plots, and to never treat anything as too precious. McKee's information has helped me streamline my poetry, short stories, and non-fiction. My approach to my writing and my work itself has improved in a short time due to reading STORY. The read made me want to take McKee's class. Every writer should own this book.

I've been to his seminar and this book covers everything he talks about at the seminar in good detail. The seminar is still well worth it as it drives everything home with real world examples.
I think it is great November 18, 2008

Can't compare it to other books as I have not read many. I liked 'Save The Cat! a lot - but that is more of an outline to work from. This is the underlying theory.
Should be helpful to writers in any genre.
