4.5
My first Stephen King book - had me totally gripped and loved all the insights into writing that were weaved in, truly a master of storytelling. I physically gasped, covered my mouth and cringed several times (so vivid!)
Marked down from 5* because of some outdated content, random racism and SA references by way of metaphor that made it a less enjoyable reading experience for me.
