We all learn differently. I prefer structure then breakout. If you learn this way, this primer on storytelling is great. McKee's Story is a broader study, with more background and history. Save The Cat! is succinct. Less broad history and more procedural instructions. Also Blake Snyder is teaching a narrower type of storytelling, specifically for Film. McKee's can be applied more broadly, although it too focuses mostly on Screenwriting.
