Fan fiction

I’ve always been a fan of Stephen King’s novels. However, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect when I realized he had written a book on writing. Why would he be writing a dull, technical book after all his successes with his science fiction novels?

nice feel that Bissinger isn’t for or against the towns ways, he is only pointing them out to inform and instigate change. This book is in the non-fiction sports genre. Friday Night Lights starts off in the thick of a football game, which is where most of the focus lies throughtout the book.

For my summer reading assignment, I chose the book “Cloud and Wallfish” by Anne Nesbet. I chose this book because I prefer fiction over nonfiction and I’ve enjoyed historical fiction in the past. My thoughts on this book changed rapidly once I read the book jacket. The summary Baxter provided in the PDF compared to the summary on the book jacket were very different. Now that I have read the book, I have some thoughts. Firstly, I think that if Baxter had provided a different summary I would have…
