Recenzii
Of
all
the
books
I've
read
about
story
construction
and
the
art
of
fiction,
this
one
is
the
most
comprehensive
and
concise
Terrifyingly clever ... Packed with intelligent argument
So detailed and engaging is his methodology that any consumer of books, plays, TV or films will find the experience enhanced; and scriptwriters themselves will find useful guidance - because when you know the why, the how is natural
This is a marvellous analysis of screenwriting and, with any luck, should help a great many people achieve their dreams
Another book on screenwriting! Oh, how I wanted to hate it! I didn't. I loved it. Much of it was fresh to me. And always interesting, always intelligent and, for a writer, always rewarding
In an industry full of so called script gurus and snake oil salesmen, at last there's a book about story that treats writers like grown ups. This isn't about providing us with an ABC of story or telling us how to write a script by numbers. It's an intelligent evaluation into the very nature of storytelling and is the best book on the subject I've read. Quite brilliant
Even for a convinced sceptic, John Yorke's book, with its massive field of reference from Aristotle toGlee, and from Shakespeare toSpooks, is a highly persuasive and hugely enjoyable read. It would be hard to beat for information and wisdom about how and why stories are told
This book is intelligent, well written, incisive and, most of all, exciting. It is the most important book about scriptwriting since William Goldman'sAdventures in the Screen Trade
Part 'How-to' manual, part 'why-to' celebration,Into The Woodsis a wide-reaching and infectiously passionate exploration of storytelling in all its guises ... exciting and thought-provoking
Into The Woodsis an amazing achievement. It has a real depth and understanding about story, a fantastically broad frame of reference and it's interesting and absorbing throughout. Full of incredibly useful insights, every TV writer should read the first chapter alone
Testing the adage that "in theory there's no difference between theory and practice but in practice there is", this is a love story to story -- erudite, witty and full of practical magic. It's by far the best book of its kind I've ever read. I struggle to think of the writer who wouldn't benefit from reading it -- even if they don't notice because they're too busy enjoying every page
Books on story structure are ten a penny but Mistah Yorke's is the real deal
All script-writers will want to readInto The Woods. All plots and archetypes BUSTED
Got to sayInto The Woodsby John Yorke is marvellous. The prospect of another screenwriting book made me yawn, but its terrific ... It's a great read, wise and cogent, and a must for all screenwriters
A mind-blower ... an incredibly dense but very readable tome about the art of storytelling ... Really worth a read
I don't always enjoy books on writing, butInto the Woodsby John Yorke is brilliant on story structure.
In his brimmingly insightful, stimulating study of how stories work, Yorke compellingly unpicks how a whole range of films, plays, novels and fairy tales all display the same archetypal structures . . . His book, in telling scores of stories in such a fresh, enlightening and accessible manner, is a gripping read from beginning to end
The best book on the subject [of storytelling] I've read, tells us everything we need to know about it. Yorke's analysis is superb
A mightily impressive opus, both hugely informative and highly educational. I love the way it's populated with so many examples - the many combinations of both mass market and the slightly more esoteric giving a something-for-everyone feeling. A brilliant work
Yorke sets out to analyse the patterns behind storytelling, explaining why the fundamentals of narrative have remained the same from Aristotle to Aaron Sorkin. A great starting point for anyone wanting to create a story
I've just read a book about professional writing which has genuinely helped me. It's for those who are serious about avoiding bad 'How To' books and want to raise their game, and it's more intelligent than most of the others. John Yorke'sInto The Woods: How Stories Work And Why We Tell Themis a genuine game-changer and has helped me put past bad habits to rest
Into The Woodsis utterly brilliant
Love storytelling? You need this inspiring book. John Yorke dissects the structure of stories with a joyous enthusiasm allied to precise, encyclopaedic knowledge. Guaranteed to send you back to your writing desk with newfound excitement and drive
Into The Woodsis brilliant. One of the best books on script writing out there . . . I loved the book. Inspiring
There is no end of books that instruct us on how to write the perfect screenplay, but few that delve more deeply into the art of storytelling than this erudite volume
Its strength is Yorke's acute perception of the wellsprings of universal narrative structures relevant to all artistic activities
Terrific . . . It's a great read, wise and cogent, and a must for all screenwriters
It's a great read. It makes me smile and say 'Yes!' aloud. Only this and PG Wodehouse do that
Not How 2 Write them but how stories work. John Yorke'sInto the Woods: A 5 Act Journey into Storyis brilliant, illuminates & explains
I'm only 70 pages into John Yorke'sInto the Woodsbut it's already helped me crack two stories
Highly recommended reading
Yorke is aware that the world is not suffering for lack of prescriptive screenwriting manuals. Instead, withInto the Woods, he takes a scalpel to narrative structure - dissecting protagonist, antagonist, inciting incident, crisis and so on - before asking how and why this underlying shape still holds audiences spellbound like a fairytale witch. "A story is like a magnet dragged through randomness," Yorke writes, but while he elegantly untangles the deepest roots of storytelling, he also honours the human need for truth and sense with some more superficial questions: why do series tend to "jump the shark" round about season three, for example, or why is clunky exposition - particularly in medical dramas - so appallingly comical? Sit comfortably, then begin
I absolutely love this book. It's incredible and so well written. I keep trying to find fault but so far no joy - It's so good
[John Yorke's] writing book is arguably possibly almost as good as mine, all right it's loads better shut up
Probably, in the hackneyed phrase, "the last book on screenwriting you'll ever need." He is very good at debunking the claims of some screenwriting gurus, all of whom are busy trying to sell you their own particular brand of snake oil. It's truly excellent
Of all the books I've read about story construction and the art of fiction, this one is the most comprehensive and concise

Descriere
Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'The best book on the subject I've read. Quite brilliant' Tony Jordan, creator/writer, Life on Mars, Hustle
We all love stories. But why do we tell them? And why do all stories function in an eerily similar way? John Yorke, creator of the BBC Writers' Academy, has brought a vast array of drama to British screens. Here he takes us on a journey to the heart of storytelling, revealing that there truly is a unifying shape to narrative forms - one that echoes the fairytale journey into the woods and, like any great art, comes from deep within. From ancient myths to big-budget blockbusters, he gets to the root of the stories that are all around us, every day.
