On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

3.0

---

I'm not big on self-help books. This, however, is written by Stephen King, and since he clearly knows how to write and has experience with the craft, he can balance well between instructional advice for writing, writing his own memoir, and crafting a highly engaging story to follow it. This represents an exception in my tastes, which is to say people who like all of the above as genres will likely find this a great read, while for the rest of us there's still something to enjoy.
