When i began reading Geralds Game i found it boring but now that i'm a few hundred pages in, it is getting good. for me, there is no SK creation that stands out as utterly bad, but for me (and i've read almost everything he's released) the hardest SK book to get into is Geralds Game...
What did you guys think of it?

Stephen King's Worst
TO CLASSIC BLONDE,
It's not that I don't like the King books I mentioned but if I had to compile a league table of the great man's work then these would be the ones I rate as the 3 weakest.

I haven't read a bad Stephen King book with that said I've only read 4 of them so I'm sure there's some bad ones.

uhmm...lets see ..
author .. with a past ... maybe an alcoholic ... nasty things happen .. people die ... author somewhat redeems himself ... its not just that its his formulae prologue today flashback... today flashback today. holy cow .. it all ties in togerther !!! and his prose ... everything explained for you in great detail. I wish i could articulate what i mean better .. all i can say is i read everything that came out when i was younger and then it started to dawn on me that although he was good at hooking you into wanting to 'see what comes next' it wasnt all that interesting. I just found myself less and less involved. Recently i went back and read one or 2 books to see if he had improved. I hated Insomnia, I hated Desperation - even worse, and i couldnt read more than 30 pages of Black House or whatever that shit was that he wrote with peter strawb. The type is rank with smugness ... its tired and worn .. as is most of Horror fiction. There just arent that many good authors .. i found myself reading better authors outside the genre and once i did that - i couldnt go back to crap. that being said - my ceiling is someone elses floor .... so its subjective ... all i can say is that i also thought King was the cats ass, until i got exposure to what i found to be were better authors.
