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!

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.

All I can say is that I'm so glad he wrote this book. The section of the book focused on his life was extremely interesting and the actually lessons on writing were extremely insightful. There are so many memorable and meaningful quotes that are going to stick with me in my writing endeavours. A must read for anyone looking to get into or better their writing!
