On Writing

a Memoir of the Craft
Mar 30, 2021Anndaaga rated this title 4.5 out of 5 stars
I had the impression that King was a hack who wrote tacky horror books--I must say the paperback covers would lead one to think that. I did read The Stand and enjoyed it but I assumed this was an exception. Anyway, several people in my writing class recommended his book On Writing so I decided to give it a try. I just finished reading it --twice! I thought it was very witty and very personal. As a writer (I have not had anything published so I am lower than a hack) I gained a lot of very practical information and motivation. I will now read another of his novels to see how it strikes me. I give 5 stars to any book I want to read more than once.
