Review:

This is a very interesting book.  The thesis is that the hero story is fairly consistent across all forms of human history.  There is a good reason to believe that this is true.  There are a ton of hero stories that follow the same general path across social group after social group.  I also learned a fair amount about myths with which I only had a passing aquaintance.
