Reviews

[Paul Hankins · Rating 5 out of 5]

Have some fun with this 1970 classic by pairing it up with Hemingway's THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA. Better yet, use this one as an anchor text to introduce THE HERO'S JOURNEY (this one even has a Belly of the Whale instance within).

Absolute house rocker. This book is the shit.
