This was a pretty thorough look at all of Stephen King books and I couldn’t stop reading. It was nice to read about his current works as well as how his career began. Also nice to learn about his own books provided clarity about his own life and were instrumental in helping him heal from painful events. I always enjoy reading about Stephen King. Definitely an informative book that I would recommend to anyone who is a Stephen King fan.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the arc.

A must have for every Stephen King lover! Although designed for young readers, adult King fans will want to devour this too! Filled with info, photos, quotes, and the essence of King's writing and life. Highly recommended!

This book is a brilliant read and a must-read for Stephen King fans. He is decidedly the king of horror. The book talks about his journey, childhood, struggles, influences, success and works. His story is so well narrated that it's unputdownable. The pictures are like cherries on the top. The book aptly describes what he went through while creating the magic that he presented to us, over the years. I hope to revisit this book a decade later; I am certain I will enjoy it as much as I did this time--or perhaps even more. Ben narrates, "Some people believe it is possible to learn about a writer through a careful reading of his or her work, others think a writer’s work is best understood by knowing the details and circumstances of that person's life. Which way does the mirror point or does it work in both directions." I think it works in both directions. Having a background of his life and journey has inspired me to read his books and I am sure I will relate his works with stories from his life.

My thanks to Netgalley for the Advanced Readers Copy.

This is a great book for Stephen King fans, I really enjoyed reading all about the process/what was going on in Kings life around the writing of each book. My only criticism is that for some of the book descriptions too much information is given away, fine is you've already read the book but if you were using the book.to navigate your way through and decide which King books to read then some descriptions would spoil the book a bit.
