On Writing By Stephen King

Part memoir and part writing manual I found this book extremely readable.  It is written in a no-nonsense, witty and interesting way.  Even if you are not an aspiring writer it gives you an understanding of the writer’s craft.  It also gives you an insight into the mind of one of the bestselling writers in the world.  It is an account of his early life and how these episodes influenced his writing.   It finishes with the horror of his near fatal accident in 1999, when he was mowed down by a van driver and how writing helped him to recover.
