A Conversation With King

Ok, so Stephen King’s new book On Writing may not actually be a real conversation between you and him, but it’s pretty close. His newest book, a work of non-fiction no less, uses two distinct parts, masterfully put together, to help the reader on writing and it’s skills.
The first part he tells the story of his life and how it influenced his writing, but in such a way that it’s like one of his novels. Stories like a rebel paper, the green stamps, and his alcoholism make the first part a gripping read. His story will make you laugh, inspire you, and almost definitely teach you something about writing.
The second part is like a handbook on writing, decidedly less fictional, but still laced with King’s humor and soul that make his writing amazing. At times it can be repetitive, and he drills things in your head (like adverb usage), but it has many of the tools and aspiring writer needs. As a whole, this book will make you laugh, make you cry, and more importantly make you want to write (and maybe help you improve).
