My lack of love for this book is definitely "it's not you, it's me" situation. I've never read a Stephen King fiction piece nor ever been interested in becoming a creative writer, let alone author. This wasn't the book for me, and that became clear pretty early on. Nonetheless, I can see it being interesting to King fans, and in that case I'd definitely recommend the audiobook. As for me, it was background noise that I tuned out while starting a puzzle — not exactly the attitude I love to have while reading a memoir.
