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. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Profusely illustrated with nearly 200 photos, color illustrations by celebrated "Dark Tower" artist Michael Whelan, and black-and-white drawings by Maine artist Glenn Chadbourne; supplemented with interviews with friends, colleagues, and mentors who knew King well; looking at King's formative years in Durham, when he began writing fiction as a young teen, his college years in the turbulent sixties, his struggles with early poverty, working full-time as an English teacher while writing part-time, the long road to the publication of his first novel, Carrie, and the dozens of bestselling books and major screen adaptations that followed; covering his varied and prodigious output--this book is a comprehensive guide to the imaginative world of Stephen King.
