By Stephen King...I have renewed faith in Stephen King's ability to put together an epic novel! The perfect combination of horror, sci fi, gore and contemporary issues...I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this particularly long novel! I also broke my record for how long it takes me to read Stephen King. I managed to stretch it out from December 1st to December 29th...which wasn't slowly enough for a couple of my friends who asked me to read it...but in my defense...Stephen King is meant to be consumed quickly! There was so much going on and so many questions I wanted answers to...it kept me engaged right up to the very end! The last Stephen King novel I read was FROM A BUICK 8, and that was a while ago...if you haven't tried Stephen King...I recommend him...he is a good writer. However, most of his work is not for the weak of stomach...or if you want to sleep at night! If you want to read a Stephen King novel without the horror...read HEARTS IN ATLANTIS...some of the other Stephen King novels I have enjoyed include:
- Cujo
- Carrie
- Salem's Lot
- It
- The Stand
- The Shining
- Christine
- Different Seasons (novellas)
- The Dead Zone
- Firestarter
- Pet Sematary
- Skeleton Crew (short stories)
- Misery
- The Dark Half
- Needful Things
- Four Past Midnight (short stories)
- Gerald's Game
- Nightmares and Dreamscapes
- Insomnia
- Green Mile
- Bag of Bones
- On Writing
- Dreamcatcher
- Desperation
There are more...some I have read, some I haven't...but these are the ones I would recommend to others. Want a little fright...or spook yourself a little? Try Stephen King!
