I don't tend to enjoy Stephen King's stories structurally or thematically, but his writing is okay, if that makes any sense. He says what he wants to say and does it well, in terms of prose. It has certainly worked out for him commercially. And, personal taste aside, I think there's a lot of good, common-sense writing advice in this book. Probably one of the better writing-advice books I've read (most of them are pure fluff and nonsense, imo).

It's probably the closest we'll get to a proper memoir out of a very interesting & likeable guy, who's utterly unique in the publishing world.

Regardless of whether you are a fan of his actual output or not, you can't question his consistency, and as far as his style and approach to writing, he keeps it simple and straightforward, which for a beginning writer is really useful. And like all Stephen King works, it's an easy read that keeps moving.
