Title: Door shut. Door open.
Product review: A very good book.As most have already said, it's a combination of autobiography _and_ book on writing. I really enjoyed the autobiography, it's compact, fast paced and tremendously entertaining. King remembers a few moments of his life in several small 'snapshots', as he puts it, which make for great reading and great insight into King, the writer.The book on writing is not quite as good. Most of what King has to say is common sense. It's always interesting, though, to hear his voice, and he writes it in a way that encourages the reader, whether or not he or she intends to ever write, to actually sit down and do it. You get to know, also, in the end, what happened to King right before, during, and after his terrible accident a few months back.Fans will definitely read (and appreciate) this book no matter what any reviewer says, but non-fans and even King's detractors, I believe, would like _On Writing_.
