“Long live 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 recovery. 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.
This book was a very short story about Stephen King’s life and some of his advises which he has for people who want to become writers.
This book have a lot of really good advice for people who want to start writing books which I personally enjoyed reading.
This book is a really quick read. It is as well interesting, enjoyable and fun to read. But there are couple of moments here and there which made me personally bored.
This book gives us a view to him as a person and what he does when he is writing his amazing novels. Which I personally liked to learn about.
The writing style here was pretty okay. It felt like classic Stephen King writing style but I personally felt like there was something missing when it comes to writing style in this book.
For the most part this book was a mix of an autobiography and an advice book to new writers or people who want to become authors.
I Give This Book 3 / 5
