Ha ha. I love King's non-fiction, as long as he's writing about the craft or the genre or autobiographical issues (I don't care at all what he has to say about politics or gun control--mostly he just embarrasses himself there).

4.5

It was interesting reading about the actual process of writing and where some of his ideas came from, but I’m not a writer and never will be. I typically prefer fiction over non-fiction. 2.5

I really enjoyed the autobiographical part. Went with a solid 4, but could've been even a 4.5.

I somehow feel the same whatever he writes about, if it's not fiction... Anyway, what he actually writes in his novels surpasses what he has to say about it so overwhelmingly that bears just can't treat the latter seriously
