When i first heard that the book we were going to read was called On Writing by Stephen King I thought to myself, "OH GREAT!" Just one more stupid book we had to read that is going to tell me how to write. I was not looking forward to begin reading the book the day I purchased it, but i knew it had to be done sometime; and sooner was better than later. I flipped through the pages to find where the book started and where it ended. I couldn't believe a book that was supposed to teach you how to write could be over 250 pages long. Having no idea how you could explain how to correctly use punctuation, grammar and other writing techniques in a book at all, let along one that was that long. I started to read the book with a mindset that it would be horrible. When I flipped to the first page and started to read the very first paragraph; I soon found out that this was not a book about writing, it seem to be the life story of Stephen King. I was shocked. I would have never guess just by the title of the book that it would have started the way it did. The way he describes his life is very intriguing. I cant wait to see how his life turns out and why the book is called "On Writing".
