    I love when Stephen reads his own books. You really get the sense of how this book is supposed to be read. He gives the books the essence of the book and characters. This is going to be another awesome. You can picture where they are due to such great descriptive writing.

I enjoy the way you entice your readers so they have to keep reading, because they must know what is next. Thank you for that! Second, I would like to say I love hearing you read, your voice is wonderful. I am going on a solo trip that will take about 25 hours. I am now looking into your books on tape. I am so stoked being able to hear you while I am driving. Thank you for all of the painstaking work you do, so that the mass public can be entertained by you. Tabitha is a lucky woman.

    🤔👍📝❤️Stephen King ,is one of my biggest inspirations for writing horror stories .👻🎃📜He is simply amazing ! 🏆I love to listen to him read his works out loud .While giving his audience such a vivid image in their minds, as he includes even the smallest details of the forwarding motion, "Actions" as it leads up to the bigger picture of what he is describing in his stories .All a while keeping his audience engaged and wanting to hear or read more !That's what it takes to be a successful writer ! He is Absolutely Brilliant !He will always get 5 stars + ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ 💯% ❤️

    Oh come on Mr. King...why couldn't you read this in a quiet room? There's too much wind.
    I Hope to meet you one day📚😁

    The Shaolin master of dialogue. He always puts so much paint on the brush. Billy Summers has got that urban watercolour down pat. SK's On Writing is a great read, too. It's the most incisive, bullshit-free take on the craft out there.
