Fans of Stephen King

[Matty978_09]

Over the past probably 8 years, i've been slowly collecting and reading his books. I love his writing. My only complaint is how deep he goes into detail sometimes. I just finished Four Past Midnight and loved it. I love The Langoliers and Library Policeman. Anyone else like his stuff? Love, hate, whatever, complaints, anything?

He does veer off the main storyline a bit when he goes into detail about things that don't really matter. Otherwise he's a great author.

My only complaint is how deep he goes into detail sometimes.King has always been the Grandmaster of overwriting...

[choptop2]

That's why I prefer his short stuff and his bachman books, especially the long walk and the Running Man. To me the bachman books that I have read have his style but are stripped down.

I've only got two of his books: Dreamcatcher and Hearts In Atlantis. I though both books were good and perfer them over their movie versions. I'd really like to read some of his earlier stuff.

[BooBerry]

His earlier stuff (as King) was pretty much to the point. Carrie, Firestarter, Misery, The Shining.

I think after he wrote IT, he started overwriting.

[K.I.N.G]

Very big fan.. My favourite book is IT.

i love his early work, after dreamcatcher some of it was hit or miss, but i still love to read it

Yeah Running man and Thinner were awesome books!

I read a lot of his older stuff Cujo, Christine, Firestarter, and a ton of the short stories.

I really liked a lot of them.

I've read at least a dozen of his books. Dreamcatcher and Salem's Lot were my favorites. The reast were :sleep2:

I still say Richard Matheson blows him away.

Tobe Hooper did a great job directing 1979's made for TV adaptation of Salem's Lot.

i love stephen king one of my all time fav i read most of his books aan seen almost all of his movies preety good horror guy

I think King's earlier works like The Shining, Salem's Lot, and Carrie were far superior than many of his later books, with the exception of a few such as Misery, and The Talisman with Perer Straub. I like his short stories better, because they don't have the overfluff of some of his novels--a great novella is Rita Hayward and the Shawshank Redemption.

my 2 cents

I've only read 2 books besides his Dark Tower books, and thoughs where The Girl who Loved Tom Gordon and It!. I'm 5 books into The Dark Tower series, I now only have Song of Susannah and The Dark Tower left. I look forward to seeing it end.

[ShadowPeople]

I agree his earlier works is the best.
I started reading his book IT and found that it had way to much pointless details, I mean I was almost through half of the book and not to much had happened yet. But than again he is a really good writer, his stories are awesome.
