    Awesome seller recommended to all. Great communication, fair prices, fast ship. These two books look brand spanking new! They are better than described and were packaged well and arrived in great condition. I now have books 1, 2 and 3. I sure look forward to reading them, but must finish the book I am currently reading. Thank you!

    A good read

    I have thoroughly enjoyed this book by Stephen King. He gives a lot of good advice about writing in an interesting way. In the first part of the book he talks about his earlier years, which is extremely interesting. I would recommend this book to anyone, writer, would-be-writer, or just an interested reader.

    Not worth the price.

    I do like Stephen Kings novels, but I am not especially enamored with this book. The first part, a mini-biography, is fine but not especially interesting. The core of the book - the writing on writing - is also interesting, but not particularly instructive. To be honest, this sounds like a recording of Mr. King giving forth on things that interest him. Fine, as far as it goes, but his (studied) laconic and I-dont'-give-a-fuck-what-you-really-think become tiresome and, sorry to say, a bit tannoying. Sorry, Stephen. Love your books. The rest? Not so much.

    King's view on writing

    Great book on writing by one of the best contemporary authors in America. King's memoir section is also interesting for any King fan. This book really inspires one to let "the guys in the basement" out and begin writing.

    Stephen King in a whole new Light

    As an aspiring author, reading how a great like S. K. got his real (as in childhood on up) start was enlightening, encouraging and downright entertaining. I heartily recommend this book.

    A must have for all writers

    Stephen King opens my eyes on writing. So many useful stories and thoughts on the craft. I absolutely love how easy it is to read his books as this one also seems as though he's right there talking to you. Get it.
