A very compelling and fascinating, albeit unauthorized, biography of the horror great, Stephen King. The author is very thorough and covers every aspect of his life, from his rural, impoverished upbringing, through his years in college, and the publication of his first book. As a King fan, I found it immensely readable; although I thought I knew a good deal about his rise to fame, I was pleased to find more than a few surprises about his life and lifestyle. Almost every single book and story of his is covered in varying levels of detail, including details omitted from the final published version and how he originated the idea for the story in the first place. Also covered are the paparazzi, overzealous fans, his near-death accident, and how he came to be involved with the "Rock Bottom Remainders". Author Lisa Rogak leaves virtually no stone unturned in this tome!
