review 1: So I read The Shinning (again) before reading this one. I was glad to read about Danny again as I missed that little boy. I also got to hear the first chapter of this story back at the start of 2012 when Stephen King came to our city and read it to us. Let us just say that I was ...

review 1: Read this over the weekend and had a good time reading it. It flowed well and was interesting. I did love the description of the amusement park and the characters. I never would have guessed who the murderer was - throughout he seemed like a good guy! The characters were belie...

review 1: That was much better than I expected it to be. I'm always hesitant when an author writes a book meant to fall in the middle of a series long after the series itself is concluded. But I think King managed to recreate everything about #4 that made it great without having it be a th...

review 1: Kind of let down by this book. Oh, it's well written and all that, but somewhat generic. Other reviewers who rated this novel with two or fewer stars have said it all a lot better than I can; I suggest you refer to them. This is certainly a departure from King's regular horror fa...

review 1: Who knew king did poetry? He's quite the wordsmith here, though I'd do without the mention of taking a woman against her will in a field, had I written it. Point is, I didnt write it, and for what it is, it's quite elegant and the imagery is thick and potent. Language superior...

review 1: I love baseball and I typically love Stephen King so I started reading this with high hopes. I knew it was a short story but I didn't expect it to be so dang short. It was about an hour read including a few short breaks (rain delays). It is an interesting premise and I felt th...

review 1: If your looking for a short mystery to read from Stephen King then you have found the right book. Two siblings head out together to drive across the country in search of somewhere new. While driving through the valleys where the trees are no where in sight and the tall grass lick...

review 1: This is a collection of King stories that have been made into movies. It is (as usual) King as the master but I wouldn't have chosen a few of the stories. It includes 1408(story was excellent but the movie wasn't very good), Hearts in Atlantis (same story), The Mangler (both we...

review 1: My expectations were really high for this book, and I really wanted to like it. This just felt like scraps and half-finished ideas that Stephen King didn't want to use for The Stand. As hard as I tried, I couldn't stop comparing this book to The Stand which may have tainted my ov...

review 1: Widower Dean Evers sits down in his Florida condo to watch a ballgame, and sees someone he doesn't expect sitting just behind home plate. Someone he hasn't seen in years. It's either a short novella or a long short story, but however you want to categorize it, it's fun to read....

review 1: I admit I have quite a shameful number of books in my to-be-read pile, but I couldn't resist reading something short and creepy, so of course, who wouldn't say no to a Kindle Single by Stephen King no less. I am not much of a baseball fan myself - I know how it is played; some of...

review 1: Giving this book five stars for the first 360 (of 400) pages, which are King at his very best: filled with one-liners, cynicism, sage assertions, memorable characters and a fascinating plot template. I repeat: King's at the top of his form here. I loved, loved reading about this ...

review 1: I accidentally requested this through interlibrary loan, not knowing it was merely a collection of Stephen King works previously published and which I'd already read. But since they went to the trouble to get it to me, I thought I'd thumb through anyway. I'm glad I did. King offe...

review 1: This series as a whole is one of the few series I can't seem to recommend enough. Of course I had ups and downs and many sleepless nights with these 7 books but I find myself applying words and phrases King cleverly wrote in my daily life, as though it became a part of me.Reading...

review 1: Comprei A Cúpula por impulso. Não lia Stephen King desde a minha adolescência, durante a qual devorei tudo o que eram livros de terror ou de ficção científica. Desde então, os meus gostos literários foram-se diversificando e o receio de já não me identificar com este tipo de ficç...

review 1: There’s a few reason why I wanted to read this book. First, I attempted to read a library copy of UNDER THE DOME when it first came out as hardcover but because it was so large, I gave up on it because it was so intimidating. I think the publisher did the right choice in reprinti...

review 1: This book started off strongly for me because it had multiple introductions and gave multiple points of view. This book takes place in Chester's mill in Maine. The story if very great and it introduces a bunch of characters and builds up tension. In all of the different stories i...

review 1: Read this in 2 days. It was like the book had become my life and my real life was on the sidelines. King is a really great writer. His vision is very dark but he does make you think... And of course sometimes you Don't want to think his thoughts, but he pulls you in anyway. I fou...

review 1: I know better, I know better, I know better. Damn it I know better than to read short stories. They are so boring, pointless and worthless. I picked up three volumes of Nightmares and Dreamscapes in a used bookstore for $1 each and now I know why they are in perfect condition ...

review 1: If I had to take a Stephen King book series to show to a friend why Stephen King is probably one if not THE greatest living writer, it would absolutely have to be this series. I never understood why people compared Stephen King to JRR Tolkien until I read these books at the behes...
