I love Stephen King. I'll have more to say when it isn't 3 am. Yeah I've still not finished it 6 years later! All my old and new King books (the ones in the fest yet to be featured) are all ready to go on a shelf nearby. I need grab a few of the latest ones too, like the new Dark Tower one, the JFK one and the latest novella quartet. I wasn't sure I even wanted to read 11/22/63, but it turned out to be another hit for King, I recommend it Ducky! Cool, thanks Cindy! It's just brilliant! Look everyone, it's a miracle, a weird miracle, like something from a Stephen King novel... A cat that can read! She's a baby too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowItIs Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 QUOTE (billybobjoe1881 @ Aug 8 2012, 10:14 PM) About a month ago I finished the Dark Tower Series. I am still undecided on the ending. Is the new Dark Tower any good? The ending is quite divisive. But I've made my peace with it The new book, The Wind Through The Keyhole, is very good. It's a story within a story. Roland is telling a story to the Tet and in this story is a story that young Roland told. It has a bit more fantasy, due to the young Roland story, than the rest of the books but it's very good.

Union 5-3992 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I'm almost done with Wizard & Glass. I thought the beginning of this was quite slow and I put the book down a year ago, but picked it up last week and I'm nearing completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 11/22/63 is my favorite King book in a long time. Apparently his son talked him into adding an additional ending and I would love to shake the man's hand because it is about the most touching moment he could have included to such a heart rending story. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I'm about half way through "Wolves of the Calla" (Busy with college stuff, it's now a bathroom reader), not as attention grabbing as the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not to everyone's taste. *** The Dark Tower does slow down a bit, but if you push through until the last book it starts rolling like a freight train. The ending is... well I won't say, but it stuck with me for weeks afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cygnus 2112 Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 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...
