On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King

funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective medium-paced

5.0

If you want to write, read this book. It's probably one of the most valuable books you'll read on the subject. King is entertaining, down to earth, and realistic with his advice. It was also neat to learn more about him and his life!

Content Warnings

Graphic: Injury/Injury detail

Moderate: Addiction, Alcoholism, Drug abuse, Drug use, and Alcohol

Minor: Cancer and Death of parent

King talks about his period of alcohol and drug addiction. He doesn't get too graphic about it and it's a relatively short part of the book. He also mentions cancer briefly within his memoir. He also details his near-death experience from being hit by a van. King does not get too gorey with the subject, but there is detail.
