The Anatomy of Genres

This was a super fascinating book. I neber thought about genres in the contexts laid out in the book but I was blown away with how indepth the book really was. It is a super long audiobook and while I enjoyed the listen, the book really needs to be read with a physical copy too. I needed to make notes and you cant do that with an audiobook so I felt that hinder me just a little.

Really great subject matter but it does make me feel like a book/film can be written based on an almost mathmatical equation and kinda takes the passion away from the idea of writing but its a handy book and if you are looking at getting into writing or you are a nerd like me, grab a copy today.

4 stars
