For the length of it, my attention was held throughout the entire reading experience. Of his books that I've read, I would have to say that it's the best. I also liked Cell quite a bit. It had a great beginning. Who doesn't appreciate a hot dog stand, cars careening out of control, not to mention people attacking one another in a zombie like haze? The ending was a bit far-fetched for me, I don't believe that he took a lot of time to develop it. There is only so long that the whole zombie-schtick can be drawn out. When the group set out on the road is when he reached "done" in that regard. That was the only bad part of the book. I also read an enjoyed Cujo, eventhough he killed off the young boy in the end. King has a way of just turning the knife so that you don't see a given thing coming-that was a great example of how he did that yet again IMHO.
I have also read The Langoliers and The Shawshank Redemption[/] I'm also currently enjoy Blaze which he wrote under the name of Richard Bachman. The best part of it is the description of how Blaze peers into the sleeping couple's room while he is climbing up the ladder to kidnap their child. Not a bad read at all, hope to have it done later tonight.
IT is definitely the best work by Stephen King in my opinion (I have read about 10 of his novels so far). The Langoliers (I believe it was a short story in "4 past midnight" collection of short stories) and Cujo come up for special mention - I really enjoyed them. The Green Mile is a collector's item for me.

I want to add that I've heard lots of mixed opinions on Doctor Sleep, which is the 'sequel' to The Shining, and personally loved it. It wasn't as terrifying as The Shining but was a very fulfilling read. So if you ever wondered what happened to little Danny, you should definitely check it out!
