Stephen King: His Life, Work, and Influences by Bev Vincent

Having been a Constant Reader from the age of nine when I picked up and devoured Christine, I had to grab this book to review.

 

While aimed at the younger reader just discovering Stephen King, I found the book very interesting for adults too. There were covers and pics I had not seen before, and I enjoyed the range of info offered – from the plots of the books, to titbits about how they were written, to pieces about Stephen’s life and his family.

 

The layout of the book was eye-catching, but some of the book plots were covered a little too well and if you hadn’t read the book, well, you’d know the ending now! However, a sneak peek into upcoming works was a treat.

 

A must-have addition to the Stephen King books filling the bookcase, I highly recommend this collection of information and pictures for the reader who would like to know a little more.

 

All things serve the beam...

Thanks to NetGalley for the opportunity to review the book.
