For decades I have been captivated by The Hero's Journey as explained by Joseph Campbell. Coupled with "Naked Hero-The Journey Away" this story takes the journey full circle of separation, initiation and return.  I loved both of the books and appreciate the modern day story as well as the Maori and Greek mythology revisited within each of the volumes to underscore the theme.  The first book was a free download which is greatly appreciated. The second, well worth the price of admission. Each book is a stand alone but the full effect and story can only be truly experienced and appreciated when read in order and in succession.Sex is a big part of the story line but it is not graphic.  The real beauty of this book is in the process of the hero as he suffers loss early in life, separates himself from all that is familiar, launches on his journey of self discovery and comes full circle, arriving home, a changed and fulfilled man.
