HowItIs Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 I'm about 75% through 11/22/63. This book should be made into a movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 The ending of 11/222/63 was amazing. Now it's time to start another book. I've read The Dark Tower, Dream Catcher, The Stand, Pet Semetary, The Green Mile, Needful Things, IT, Dolores Claiborne, Blockade Billy & Misery.

barney_rebel Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Taking forever on The Dome. This book doesn't do it for me. I was expecting another IT and it failed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treeduck Posted January 9, 2013 Author Share Posted January 9, 2013 Taking forever on The Dome. This book doesn't do it for me. I was expecting another IT and it failed.That's what I was thinking it might be. I've not read it yet, I have a King backlog, but I'm just not in novel-reading mode at the moment. I think a lot of long time King readers often grab the latest King book and hope it's going to be another IT, or The Shining, or The Stand or Salem's Lot but all you get nowadays (or last time I read the latest one) is a watered down Misery, or a watered down Tommyknockers , or a boring rehash of Christine. I think King peaked in the 80s, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think King peaked in the 80s, What bugs me about this book is that not that it's a bad story, but it's focused around a town of rednecks and they speak like rednecks. Fine. Speaking from the author, the words are still written like a redneck. I'm not sure what the point of that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about halfway through, then the story started to get moving. Then a brutal scene made me have to put it down for a while and continue my other books. There are way too many characters in the book. I recommend looking at the chart he gives you at the beginning and keep referring to it until you get to know the character.

I don't think I've ever seen that before. He should concentrate on creating a good story rather than juggling as many characters as possible. A scene that made me feel queasy was in The Dead Zone when Johnny Smith is having operations on his legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked Under The Dome, although the end was kinda lame which I have always found to be par for the course with his books...well, most of the time. His early books were great, Salems Lot is still one of my all time faves. The Dead Zone was really good too, better than the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
