Stephen King could write on
the shithouse wall and I would read it.
You might say that I am one of his constant readers. This, however, doesn't mean that I view
everything he writes as equal; or that I enjoy every book the same.
To be somewhat critical, I
believe his best books were written during the seventies and eighties. The rest are good reads, for the most part,
but the real thrillers – the one’s that reach out of the dark corner of the
room and grab you when you least expect it
- the classics - are his earliest books.
I dare you to read Salem’s Lot late, on a dark, windy night
alone and not get the shivers. Pet Cemetery
That said; his new book
Doctor Sleep is vintage King. In order
to make connections you must have read The Shining (or at least seen to movie.) But this ‘can’t put it down’ page turner will grab you from the very first
chapter.
On a side note about movies
made from King’s books: most sucked a root.
Salem
People seem to either love
King or don’t like him…It is probably more their take on the genre.
But if you are a King fan:
check out Doctor Sleep.
