I loved Katrina's tenacity and drive and ultimately her humanity and fragility

Who was your favorite character and why?

Apart from the obvious, Katrina, her husband is a model for support and understanding, she is a very lucky lady.

I felt her emotions through her words, it just made the experience more authentic and real

What’s an idea from the book that you will remember?

Katrina kept on trying and working, she kept trying different scenarios, she didn't just 'give in or give up'

Would you consider the audio edition of On Writing to be better than the print version?

Yes - easier to access for busy budding writers

What other book might you compare On Writing to and why?

None, Stephen King's advice and narration are so easy to listen to and his honesty is very inspiring.

Have you listened to any of Stephen King’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, Bag of Bones, love his voice, this was a different type of book and very easy to listen to.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was very moved when he admitted and owned his alcoholism.

Any additional comments?

I love his message, writers need to understand that he wasn't born with a golden spoon. He worked very hard at some seriously menial jobs and perservered with his writing when most of us would be making excuses.

This book stuck in my mind and heart

If you could sum up The Gratitude Effect in three words, what would they be?

I bought this book as a hard copy a few years ago, and remembered the 'common sense' which is not so common these days and wisdom of his message. Easy listening, very good message, a good place to start a new day, week, or month.
