I have to say that i really like both Lisey's Story and From a Buick 8!
Yes, please, folken, do try to be considerate. Fortunately, Dagavidiab, while that may have spoiled a bit of what does not happen, some interesting things DO happen in that book which haven't been discussed here at all. I hope you'll still enjoy it whenever you happen to get around to it.
"From a Buick 8"
Oh, man, I couldn't stand that one. I finished it, but only because I kept thinking it had to get better. The worst thing I ever read from him.
The Eyes of the Dragon or Gerald's Game. Gerald's Game is probably the only one I've read once and never plan to read again.
Cujo, really? I loved it! Very intense.
I vote "Cell" it bored me to death. It just feels to me that the whole undead (Zombie) angles have been used to much in books and movies. I know some people with disagree but to me it has just be used too much.
"You've had your whole F***ing life to think things over, what good's a few minutes minutes more gonna do you now?"
Rage and Roadwork. I seriously wanted to somehow magically transport myself into that classroom and shoot that spoiled brat (the main character) in Rage. OMG, such angst!
Carrie didn't do anything for me either.
There were some good moments but compared to 'Salem's Lot it seems like it was a different writter. Writting and style seemed a lot more mature in 'SL and that was his next book. Maybe because he realized he didn't need to try so hard.
I would have to say his worse book would be.... Duma Key. I also did not like Under the Dome and The Cell (great premise with poor execution).
Don't know if these count as Novel's or not but:
1.From a Buick 8 just cause I found it boring and kinda pointless.
2.Different Seasons-to much going on in it.
3.Full Dark, No stars- Only some was good.
I understand what people are saying about From a Buick 8. I liked it for its references to other books but yeah, not much happens. I finished it in 2 days so it was a easy enough read. I think that might have been a problem with it. Too plain.
I'm currently reading Gerald's Game. Page 50 and I misplaced the book. I have no clue where I put it. I'm in no rush to find it either.
I'm sure I'll read it eventually. I was a on a roll, I read The Green Mile, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, From a Buick 8 and started Gerald's Game. All this from 12/1 to 12/17. Gerald's Game killed the mood. I don't know, maybe it gets better, I'm only on page 50.
The beginning half of the book is actually the best....
Oh man... where's the smiley face that's blowing his brains out when you need him?
