Firstly the interviewer starts talking about the huge success of the summer scariest movie “It”, which movie sequel will come out in 2019, inspired by King’s anonym book. The author express his surprise for the great the success of the film . The conversation then moves on their novel Sleeping Beauties and how the main idea of the book has come up. Owe explains to the interviewer his first horrible idea of all women in the world not waking up one day, which for his dad was a great idea to develop and in fact he encouraged Owe to write about it.

In conclusion their collaboration went good and laughing they say they are still there so no serious issue raised, they also didn’t have a lot of argument. Of course sometimes their ideas didn’t match but at the end they end up with a great result. in the book there is a “third voice”, which merged the two authors and do not let them distinguish. They can’t even remember who wrote what parts. In my opinion it is a great thing when son and dad collaborate to write a book because the ideas and their different point of view from different generations came together, and it can give an additional value to the book. Of course it could have been difficult to collaborate but it could have helped and strengthen their relationship.

HELP PLEASE for this LISTENING REPORT

In this episode of Good Morning America, the guests in studio are Stephen King and his son Owen King, presenting their new horror novel Sleeping Beauties.
Firstly the interviewer starts talking about the huge success of the summer's scariest movie, “It".  The movie's sequel will come out in 2019, inspired by King’s anonym book. The author expresses his surprise about  the great the success of the film .
The conversation then moves on to their novel Sleeping Beauties, and how the main idea of the book has came up. Owen explains to the interviewer his first horrible idea of all women in the world not waking up one day, which for his dad was a great idea to develop and in fact he encouraged Owen to write about it.
Stephen says jokingly that he used to tell people that he could tell them where the ideas come from but first he would have to kill them. Joking aside, his ideas in the past came from everywhere. He was very enthusiastic when Owen brought him this idea, because it could be developed in very interesting ways. Stephen again jokes about how men could iron their shirt or clean the toilet, and in general how they could do things without women. Eventually they agreed to collaborate for the first time in writing this book.
In conclusion, their collaboration went well, and laughingly they say they are still there, so there was no serious issue raised between them. They also didn’t have a lot of arguments. Of course sometimes their ideas didn’t match, but in the end they came up with a great result. In the book there is a “third voice”, which merges the two authors and does not allow them to be distinguished. They themselves  can’t even remember who wrote what parts.
In my opinion it is a great thing when son and dad collaborate to write a book, because the ideas and their different points of view from different generations come together, and this can give an additional value to the book. Of course it could have been difficult to collaborate but it could have helped and strengthened their relationship.
