i owned them all at one time ...
when i was reading them i thought they were ok ...
but in time i got sick of his style and it spoiled the
experience of reading the things i liked at one time ..
There are several authors i thought were ok when i was younger that i cant bear to read now ... blame the better authors on that one :)

Salems Lot still has things that bug me but i think it's his most
readable novel..(for me now)


edit : in all honesty - i think horror fiction is lousy for the most part.

I haven't gotten to "Cell" yet, although I heard it was really good.
Once I read it I'll come back with my opinion. :)

That's one of the most one sided comparisons I've ever seen.

oh please another king book, i wouldn't waste my time on it.

i am about halfway through it and i must say i am very impressed. the style of it reminds me of some of his better stuff like pet sematary and the stand.

i would (and am) reccommend it.

New King
 

Is the cell vintage King, you know his brand of humor along with the horror? Also, sence I LOVE to give my opinion, I recamend Desperation, It, Black house, if you read the gunslinger books,and the Talisman. Oh,Oh and....well, hell, there all good.

I still haven't had a chance to read it. The only writings by King I couldn't get into were the Gunslinger, dragon, and collaboration works. And I don't like the "alternate universe" stuff in general anywhere as much as the supernatural scary stuff like Salem's Lot.

quoting family guy


"so mr king have you got your new book ready yet? what's it about?"

*looks around* *sees lamp*


UHHHH there's this couple in a house in the woods, and they're attacked by a... uhhhh. umm a demon LAMP MONSTER!! yeahh. ooooooh oooooooooh... raa raa.

I'd love a book about a demon lamp monster!!!!

Cell
 

I am about half way through it myself.It is not going to be epic like the stand or anything,but so far it has all the king earmarks. It is hard to belive that its less than fourhundred pages long though.HA!
