For me, there are two kinds of Stephen King books: those he wrote before 1990, and those he wrote after. For some reason, I've never really been keen his works in the former category. For example, It. Nope, couldn't do it, got tired of the way it dragged on and gave up about halfway through, too bor...

The first time I read The Stand I was home sick from school with some illness, the German measles I think. Maybe not a good time to be reading a book about a super flu, but I was young and not so bright.This had to have been in 1981 or so, because that’s the year MTV debuted, back then they played...

Ive actually read this 2x, once when i was like 16 or 17, maybe 18, but i knew i loved the movie and that books are always better, and that details are always more superbly written especially in stephen king movies, so i read it again this year.

I initially borrowed my Dad’s copy but didn’t really get in to but...

The appeal of this book is not (can not be) the tale of good vs. evil. THAT tale is just too basic and a bit anti-climatic in the end. I mean, really? The good guys do nothing to win, but win anyway? Grrr....The appeal of this book is the character development that King is so good at (admit it - his...

A book that reminds me of how fragile man really is, of how courage and beliefs play their parts in helping people overcoming adversaties. One hefty read that gets me thinking about tonne of things.
