ive read a few stephen king books and i love them but theyre all so long and he goes into tooo many twists and turns that when you wanna recall the events they all get muddled up eg/ insomnia ....... but i love his way of writting its the kinda stuff thats worth staying up fo !! havent read IT yet but planning too
dreamcatcher was great i loved that one really interesting but also a bit sad the way the four friends get seperated at the end(1/2 of them die)and poor duddits he dies too!!!

Number one, there is a Stephen King thread here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showthread.php?t=36306

Number two, don't just throw spoilers in without appropriate warning in your title. Also use the spoiler tags (found here: http://www.boredofstudies.org/community/showpost.php?p=1046864&postcount=3) when you want to put spoilers in. Your post should look something like this:

Number three, I quite like Stephen King, and I have read about ten of his books. :)

The movie had quite a few good one liners. "Hey Beav." "Yeah?" "Sit tight, buddy."

and "a fuckaree turned into a real fuckarow" when they were in Hole in the Wall

i would have absolutely no clue what Beav's talking about if i havent read the book.

Fuckaree means it's good, and fuckarow means it's shit by the way.

Beaver was the best character.

i've never read any of his books but the movies made from them are good. i think secret window is based on one of his books... i loved that movie. also the shining. i haven't seen it but apparently it's REALLY freaky

Steven King books are an addiction, once you start you need more and end up buying everything. Much like Koontz...but better :)

King is a very talanted and fertile storyteller. His horror novels always have amazed me in that I am left speechless and in awe at how one human mind can think up such twisted things. It's very impressive.
