I've read a lot of great authors. I think King is one of the best.

- Latest Review: The Hand Bringer by Christopher J. Penington
I find he's either hit or miss. My favorites from him are probably Pet Sematary and Misery, both very suspenseful and Pet Sematary was one of the only books to really freak me out. But at the same time I found Doctor Sleep and The Shining (I know, blasphemy!) to be not nearly as enthralling. I actually couldn't wait for them to be over. I feel like some of his characters and situations repeat; drunks, bad marriages, kids with special abilities or kids being killed. But he is still fantastic and can knock out some amazing and entrancing stories.JadePhenix wrote:I used to LOVE reading anything by King, but here lately I've been less than impressed and felt that my purchase was a waste. Is it him or is it me? Can you outgrow an author?

I forgot to mention The Stand! That's a great one, very long but nothing wrong with that. I read this during head cold season around here, so it added a little extra horror to my life.Marylouise wrote:The Shinning was my first MANY years ago. Since I've read all of his books except the short stories. I'm just not a fan of short stories by anyone. My favorite book of King is The Stand. Different from his other works. If you enjoy an end of days novel try it. A bit outdated but still a wonderful story. Personally I love doomsday, end of time, so it was right up my alley.
