I’m going to start off by being completely honest... I was not looking forward to reading this book at all. This is mainly because I’m not much of a “pleasure reader”, I guess you could say. But I was pleasantly surprised when I began reading these 100 pages. Steven King really makes these stories come alive and very easy to get into. I actually very much enjoyed reading these first pages. I loved how he managed to tell his whole story of how he evolved into the writer he is today while just casually, and enjoyably, sharing about the rest of his life experiences.
The very first story was one of my favorites. On pages 18 and 19, when he was talking about being at his Aunt’s house at around age 3 pretending he was the Strongboy in the circus, this made me reminisce back to when I was young child and how crazy my imagination was. Also, when he got stung by the wasp and later dropped the cinderblock on his foot made me laugh because I was just as clumsy when I was a toddler. My other favorite story was on page 61 when he was talking about how he and his wife met. I am such a romantic and any sweet little story like that just makes me smile.
I hope that the rest of the book is just as interesting.
