Title: For the writer, yes...but for the reader?
Product review: I really liked this book, since I've been writing science fiction and horror for the last ten years and Stephen King is my favorite horror writer. It didn't blow me away with any writing tips, however. The autobiography portion of the book, I felt, was much better, only because it featired some anecdotes on how he got some of his ideas as well as his early days as a writer.So, from a writer's standpoint, I can see why this book is popular, but from the casual reader's standpoint, I'm puzzled. Over 200 reviews here on Amazon and I'd be willing to bet 175 were from readers, not writers. That statistic, if it's true (and like I said, I'd be willing to bet it is), says a lot about King. He can write a book that is basically writing tips and sell it to READERS! Anyone else would have been laughed at by his publisher. King is like no other writer on planet Earth.
