Timstar Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 (edited) Book 8 of the Dark Tower is actually supposed to take place somewhere between Book 3 and Book 4. Polite correction it is between book 4 and 5. I believe it is similar to book 4 in that it is mostly 'flashbacks' Edited April 25, 2012 by Timstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muggle not Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Polite correction it is between book 4 and 5. I believe it is similar to book 4 in that it is mostly 'flashbacks' yes, you are correct, it is between book 4 and 5, and it was my error. I am a little surprised that there has been little discussion of The Wind Through the Keyhole. I started reading the book and it is bringing back fond memories of why I thoroughly enjoyed the entire series. Unfortunately, I received a library book that I had on hold and have now temporarily stopped reading the King Book to read the Baldacci book. I am anxious to get back to King.

Timstar Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Well I won't be buying it until it comes out in paperback, but I did have a look at it in Waterstone's to see what the back cover looks like, you can tell it is made up of thousands of pictures but obviously you can't see any individual faces... but mine is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charmer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 (edited) I can never relate to any of Stephen Kings characters and sometimes the point of the story line . Edited May 7, 2012 by charmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanananah Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I've just read my first Stephen King book - Carrie, absolutely loved it. Definitely going to read more of his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koontzfanx Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I love Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub (I think?) I do sometimes feel his books are hard to get into the don't seem to flow as easily as some authors x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangolin Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 I've just finished rading Salems Lot. I quite enjoyed it and thought it was written very well, but I found it more entertaining than scary. It's the second SK book I've read (I read Needful Things when I was about 15 and enjoyed that aswell) and I'll probably pick up a few more.

Bianca Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I did read 'IT' once, didn't enjoy it though, i kept wanting to get to the end and the story seemed to drag. I haven't read any of Stephen King's other books, yet i want to read Green Mile, i loved the film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muggle not Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 oj after the book im reading now i gonna read another stephen king book.what one should i read first? under the dome/or IT? I have read both and my preference is "IT". However, there are many fans of King I am sure that will recommend Under the Dome. I enjoyed both books but "IT" was my favorite of the two.

Brian Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 My favourite was Green Mile, but I also enjoyed Insomnia quite a lot. Haven't read IT yet, people here seem to recommend it, so I think I'll get it, cheers guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil1980 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I'm loving 11.22.63 which I am reading at the moment. I've not read anything else by the King I know "IT" is highly recommended but wasn't too excited about the movie which kind of puts me off the book. Was thinking about The Stand next or The Shining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Athena Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I've read a few books by Stephen King, It is my favourite. The fact that I read it when I was a lot younger, probably helps with it as for me reading it is partially nostalgia (if that makes sense). I've got a few more of his books on my wishlist, such as 11/22/63 since I've heard good things about them. I don't read a lot of horror these days but as far as horror writers go I think Stephen King is one of the best I've read (for adults). The Shining.., I've seen the movie but not read the book. Added it to my wishlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ooshie Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I thought the book of The Shining was far, far better than the film (which was good too!); to me, it's one of Stephen King's best books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karen.d Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I am about 400 pages into The Stand and enjoy it very much. only 738 pages to go. It may be one of his best, or at least one of the best, excluding the Dark Tower Series. But, I still have to finish the book. I'm half the way through this novel and I have to agree that so far, 'The Stand' is the best Stephen King book I have read. I'm hoping that I'm not disappointed at the end.
