If you want to write, read this book. It's probably one of the most valuable books you'll read on the subject. King is entertaining, down to earth, and realistic with his advice. It was also neat to learn more about him and his life!

Minor: Cancer and Death of parent

King talks about his period of alcohol and drug addiction. He doesn't get too graphic about it and it's a relatively short part of the book. He also mentions cancer briefly within his memoir. He also details his near-death experience from being hit by a van. King does not get too gorey with the subject, but there is detail.

ranocchietto's review against another edition

4.75

This book was extremely informative and inspiring. It gave me the feeling I can write a novel, something I've always thought to be out of my league, and a general inspiration to go back to writing.
I'd recommend it to all aspiring writers, I didn't agree with all the points but it's a clear and concise in its directions, which leaves them open to reinterpretation.
The memoir sections were entertaining and moving, only the graphic descriptions of his injuries after the accident proved a bit too much for me.
I will very likely read it again when I feel like I need encouragement.
