Blurb (from back cover): "Long life the King, hailed Entertainment Weekly upon the publication of Stephen King's On Writing. Part memoir, part master class by one of the bestselling authors of all time, this superb volume is a revealing and practical view of the writer's craft, comprising the basic tools of the trade every writer must have. King's advice is grounded in his vivid memories from childhood through his emergence as a writer, from his struggling early career to his widely reported near-fatal accident in 1999-and how the inextricable link between writing and living spurred his recover. Brilliantly structured, friendly and inspiring, On Writing will empower and entertain everyone who reads it-fans, writers and anyone who loves a great story well told."
Opinion: Reading this made me feel like I was getting first hand advice from a prolific writer. The memories that Stephen King put throughout this book is entertaining and show what he went through to get to where he is now. A great book.
