4.0

Roughly 1/3 of this book is useful, helpful advice. 1/3 is entertaining commentary and applicable anecdotes. 1/3 is largely memoir. Overall, very helpful and an interesting perspective!

This book is a treasure trove. I loved it so much.
 Especially the love for his wife was amazing and could really be felt in every line.

As someone who disliked Stephen King's novels so far, I have huge respect for his life achievement nonetheless 🙏

i love stephen king’s writing style. he’s funny, to the point while still being entertaining. this  gave me a cup of courage to start seriously on my own writing with a little bit of confidence.

My lack of love for this book is definitely "it's not you, it's me" situation. I've never read a Stephen King fiction piece nor ever been interested in becoming a creative writer, let alone author. This wasn't the book for me, and that became clear pretty early on. Nonetheless, I can see it being interesting to King fans, and in that case I'd definitely recommend the audiobook. As for me, it was background noise that I tuned out while starting a puzzle — not exactly the attitude I love to have while reading a memoir.

i didnt like the memoir sections bc they didnt seem meaningful or relevant to the work as a whole, and i didnt feel like i learned very much at all.
