King is king of the short story, plain and simple! :excited:

[Daghain]

I gave it a 5. I love King's short stories.

[Matt]

I thought this one was pretty good. :fairy:

[Sam]

I have always thought this was King's weakest collection. After readin Just After Sunset, my opinion is unchanged. Some of the stories were great, but some of them were just ok at best. This one gets a 3 from me.

[Girlystevedave]

I gave it a 3 for the simple fact that I read it, but nothing about it sticks out in my mind. :unsure:

[mystima]

the story that got me was The 10 O'clock People...struck a cord with me at the time cuz i was trying to quit smoking as well...lol...didn't work after that...been trying to quit for a while though...but it goes to show you that it makes you think was that real or was that just smoke in your eyes???:evil:

[The Lady of Shadows]

short stories get me everytime. a 5 for sure.

Same for me. It was remarkably unremarkable. I actually gave it a 2 though.

Bears are not very fond of King's short stories. Loved Popsy and Crouch End, though.

[Brice]

I probably read as many short story collections as I do novels. I feel King is one of the best short story writers alive...and quite possibly ever.

[ManOfWesternesse]

Hard to vote on this one - it's been years.
Gave it a 3 eventually.

[Randall Flagg]

4. Lot of good short stories, but no King collection of shorts will ever be a 5 to me.

[Tiffany]

A 4 for me. The only ones that I really loved were "The End of the Whole Mess" and "Suffer the Little Children."

The ratio of stories I liked to the ones I thought were okay isn't too high.

It's creepy how eerily prescient King was in predicting how smoking would be criminalized in so many areas of public life. Reading some of his older short stories from this collection, and Night Shift, make you wonder if he has a crystal ball.

:nope:

but now you know what happened to the grapefruit. that is to say the pink one. :evil:

[B Rag]

I actually only read a few of these, so I probably should've voted "Never Read". It seems like I liked the ones I did read, though.

[SpaceMaN]

5. You Know They Got A Hell Of A Band.

And the Sorry, Right Number screenplay. Excellent.

[Mianjo]

I gave this a three. Some of these stories stuck with me, but most did not. Average.
