[that old guy]

I thought Bag of Bones was okay, but nothing special, personally. In the same class as The Dark Half, Christine or Firestarter. Entertaining and a pleasant way to pass the time, but not really the sort of work that made me say "wow." As was the case with most of the Dark Tower series, The Stand, The Shining, The Green Mile or even Misery and Pet Sematary...all of which I'd rate ahead of Bag of Bones, at a minimum. But that's me. Everybody's got their own favorite.

And On Writing? My god that was the best book I've read in my life.

I thought it was well done, but hardly immune from criticism. It was almost as though he couldn't figure out whether to write an autobiography or a how-to manual. And personally I thought that lack of focus took away from the work.

I really can't understand how that guy has got any critics at all.They all should want to be his foot massager. The man is the reason I
get up in the morning.

ohh..kayy.
