My Review
This was such a brilliant book. I just couldn't put it down and had to read it all in one sitting. I just loved how the author incorporated so many pictures into the text to create such a fantastic book. I really don't think anything was missed out it was so interesting. It was obvious that this book was so well researched. The book flowed so well bringing together many sources of information to make this incredible read. It was so interesting that I became engrossed from the very start. Stephen King is a big figure in the literary scene and his life makes for a very fascinating book. Especially just how many books he can write in one year and thT the publishers only ever wanted to print 2 a year. It was certainly great learning about his reasons for creating Richard Buchman. I definitely recommend this book if you have ever loved his books.
Only the highest of praise goes out to the author and publishers for bringing us this fascinating story of a great writer that includes his books, life and films. I will definitely will be looking out for more books by this brilliant author.
