You are thinking of "Dreamcatcher".

I loved the first half of that book. Thought it was hilarious and entertaining as hell.:D


I hated "The girl who loved tom gordon". Thought it was terrible boring. After reading that one i thought it was the begining of the end for old King.

But the i read "Dreamcatcher"....;)

"Tommyknockers" was rather boring. I didn't like "Gerald's game" too.
On the contrary I liked both "Cujo" and "Christine".

In general, I prefer the old King to the recent one, but there are some exceptions ;)

Yes that was it..the first half was good.....then it went to shit!

I really don't like it when SK tries to write books that are not horror. He is a good writer. As a horror writer he is one of the best.......but he hasn't got the talent to be a classic writer. Just is not in that league. Those mostly fall short, except for ShawShank maybe.

In horror though.....he rules..........stick to what you do best SK!

I liked two of those books, but haven't read Dark House. That is supposed to be a sequel to The Talisman and I loved that book. I think it may even be my favorite. Why didn't you like them? The Regulators was not fantastic, but ok.
