I don't know anything about the new King novel, but I do have to say that I have been very disappointed with his more recent works. I will still read it of course, I am a big fan of his older stuff. In my opinion, the last good book he wrote was Bag of Bones, which I do happen to like a lot.

Urge: you don't even think the stories in Night Shift or Different Seasons are worth a read?

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!

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!
