On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
by Stephen King
Summary: Stephen King tells the story of how he's lived his life as an author and a creator. Along the way he tries to share both his outlook on fiction writing and tips he'd recommend to authors starting out.
Things I liked:
Not too preechy and tended to acknowledge when he was being a bit opinionated.
Great personal stories, which goes a long way to avoid being one of those self help books that just seems really bleh, bleh, bleh follow these 7 simple rules.
Things I thought could be improved:
Can't think of much really, a pretty good read. Maybe relied a bit too heavily on a working knowledge of his works (so if this is the first King you read you might be a bit lost.
Highlight: I really liked his childhood story about shutting down all the power on his block when his brother convinced him to stick a metal stick in the power socket.
