B.O.A.S Rating – 5/5

This book.

Part memoir, part ultimate master class, Stephen King has shared practical yet intimate details on the art of writing. Before this book, I wasn’t a big fan of Stephen (I feel that I’m on a first-name basis with him now). His books are known for their good fright, and I’m no fan of scares. But this book takes you behind that. To the genius who pens them, his lifelong passion and practise.

I had a copy of the book in my e-reader, and before I started working from home, I’d also listen to the audiobook on my commute. By Valentine’s day, I had to buy a hardcopy! Luckily for me, the Prestige Bookshop had two copies remaining.

I don’t think I can fully explain this book here. A recent acquaintance told me that he refers to this book often. I can see why. I’ll probably re-read it again soon. With paper and pen handy. Because this time I’m taking notes.

Long live The King! Worth every star.
