Nothing original about the book. It is just a collection of quotations. Very disappointed

Difficilmente potremmo trovare una saggio altrettanto completo sulla vita e le opere di uno scrittore.
Testo che si legge piacevolmente (...sono più di 600 pagine) fondamentale per gli appassionati di King che vogliono approfondire la genesi delle sue opere e scoprire aneddoti sulla sua carriera.
Per chi non lo conosce ancora può essereun buon punto di partenza per accostarsi alla sua produzione letteraria.

Nowhere near as good as I'd hoped it would be. You get an overview of King the man and author in very broad strokes, and a cursory mention of every book he's written up to 2015, but some do little more than give you the title and publication date, so, really who cares?

The book is also in serious need of editing, because on multiple occasions, the same information is delivered multiple times. Sometimes within a few pages of each other. There's absolutely no need for that, and it becomes quite irritating to read after a while.

Finally, there's very little critical review of King's work. Even stuff that King admittedly doesn't like himself, the author seems to fawn over and make excuses for.

I love Stephen King. I love his writing. But I don't like every single thing he's put out. Every once in a while, it'd be nice to see someone be a little more critical of his failures, instead of slavish devotion to the so-called King of Horror. It got a little too sweet for me, and by the end, I pretty much had a toothache and diabetes.

An okay overview, but overlong.

This book is part-biography of Stephen King and partly looks at the places where King grew up, lived, spent time... and where he modelled some of the settings for his books. It includes photos of many of the places.

I liked it. It was published in 1999, so there is probably a lot more current stuff that could be added if it was updated. The book also looked at some of the movies that were made from King’s books. I particularly enjoyed the section on “The Shining” (Stephen and Tabitha lived in Colorado for a short time). I also love that they are both so supportive of libraries, to the tune of gifting a couple of local libraries a lot of money to help them out.… (mehr)
