I wasn't sure I would like this. I'm not a huge fan of non-fiction books and I didn't know what to expect from King, who is such a master of suspense. But I loved this book. SO much. It felt like he was just chatting with me, like we were having a casual conversation about what it means to be a writer. It was an odd feeling, considering he is one of the most successful writers of all time and could probably say whatever he wanted to about the topic, in whatever tone he wanted. But he was witty and touching and struck the perfect balance of acknowledging his talent and success, while not being at all pretentious about it. I learned a lot from this book, and as wanna-be writer myself, found his advice inspiring, practical, and all-around wonderful.

I had a much longer, drawn-out review in my head that I was going to write here, but I think I just need to say - Go and read it. If you love to write, if you love to read, and especially if you like Stephen King, go read it now.
