I have recently begun writing short stories and this book was recommended to me as a learning resource. The book arrived very quickly indeed and was well packaged and unfortunately was left on my front doormat so I couldn't even get out of the door without pushing it out of the way in order to not stand on it. But that aside I'm already halfway through the book and it is excellent reading. In the first one third Stephen King gives a kind of potted autobiography of his progress as a writer and then he begins to discuss the art of writing and the craft of developing plot and character and all of the other details that make up a good story I recommend it to anyone who wishes to write or anyone who enjoys to read.

Fabulous resource. Get an insight into the man as well as advice on what it really takes to be a (good) fiction writer. Understand what a useful toolkit comprises and how to decide what you'll write about. Wish I'd read it years ago... Thanks Steve!!
