    It wasn't bad, gave it a 2.5. Would have given it higher (3 or 3.5), but being non-fiction, and dated, it has no re-read value for me.

    Undervalued by King readers (from what I've seen on TDT). Entertaining, informative, amusing - I'm not sure what else DM need do.

    I agree. I read this for the first time a few years back and just loved it. I was reluctant because I thought it would feel dated but it totally did not, for me anyway.

    Overall, it's as relevant as ever, but I did enjoy the "warm up the old Betamax" comment.

    The special edition of DM is rarely discussed; I came across one at a book fair. Nothing too special (I barely remember it), but interesting to see one out there.

    Gave it a 4. Very informative and insightful. I referred to the reading list and movie list for several years.

    I've always wondered what effect this book had on sales of other authors. After reading this I bought Dracula, Ghost Story and The Haunting of Hill House. Can't say it inspired me to watch any of the movies though. Would be interesting if he came out with a sequel of the next 30+ years.
