Can I give this six stars? Seriously, amazing. King's addictive prose does just as well in nonfiction as it does fiction. Even when only a few pages in, I started noticing faults in my own writing and adopted a keener eye for certain things I used to overlook. I'm also more inspired to read and write than I have been in a long time. I hadn't read a single word of King up until my encounter with Misery a few weeks ago. Now... I feel his work and I are going to become good friends. 
 Best writing "manual" (although I have a feeling he wouldn't call it that) I've read thus far. Probably will stay that way.
