It was a damn good read ? I'm not going to day it changed my outlook on life or anything, but for what it was it was extremely well done.

Care to comment on any of his other works then ?

Was just curious, never cared much for King. He has done some incredible things as an author though, to write so accessibly and retain an adult audience is impressive. Popular fiction seems to have disappeared or gone full retard, but King manages to sell millions and retain his soul (for the most part). Glad you enjoyed the book.

Haven't seen it, from the look of the trailer I'm thinking the book will shit all over it.

The book literally increased my heart rate towards the end.

It's one of my least favorite Stephen King books, but it's not too bad.

Hey King thread, what's the best King book?

And no, it's not the Dark Tower series. I thought that kinda sucked.

>> No.1202840

The book is good.
Best King book, in my opinion: Tommyknockers thought IT is the scariest one

average /lit/ person: hurr duurrr King isn't deep enough and it's too popular for my pretentious taste! Bring more Dostoyevsky and stop enjoying your books!

I'm finishing IT and so far it was great. It was my first Stephen King book and I'll definitely check out some more. Actually... I just bought Bag of Bones and can't wait to start reading.
