Despite being 0 for 4, The Long Walk is still hanging onto sixth place.

[mae]

Also, it's pretty clear it's impossible for It to again unseat The Stand from first place. It would need to win three more polls than The Stand.

hope dies last

Sad that it was at third place, and it's just dropping in these rounds.

This surprises me. Out of the 10 left, I’d put it in the top 3 easily.

I also don’t quite get the love for The Stand. It’s good, but not the best.

[Jean]

I would put IT ahead of The Stand.

[Jean]

good! so would bears

[mae]

The last of the polls have been posted. This is it, guys and girls and animals!

[DoctorZaius]

I don't get the response for Black House - so many better King books!

[Jean]

I know only one that is actually better (the one whose name consists of two letters) and only three that are as good

[Merlin1958]

Personal opinion, I get one "free pass" don't I? I just didn't like it. I am sure there are stories I enjoy that you folks abhor. Shit happens.

And so our 2014 Constant Reader Awards have come to an end once again. And once again, for the fourth consecutive time this tournament's been held, The Stand is the winner and the Best King Book of All-Time. Even though The Stand lost its first-ever Round 3 poll (against It), it still held firmly onto its first place. This has been very fun to do and hopefully all the participants had fun as well. That's what this is for. See you back here in 2016, when Mr. Mercedes and Revival and the likely 2015 collection make their debut!

Thanks Pablo for all your hard work. This was my first time and I really enjoyed playing! I wish my book had been number one but you have reminded me to re-read a few and for that thanks!!!

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

One of these days, IT will usurp The Stand!

Well it beat The Stand for the first time, so its the winner in my book :D

Also why is The Long Walk listed in ninth place, or have the scores just not been updated yet?

Agreed. The Stand is King's magnum opus. The unabridged version.
