review 1: If you love Stephen King, have read his books.. well hate to disappoint you.Stephen King Goes to the Movies is basically his critically acclaimed novels now bigbox office productions, in the condensed movie form. The story is the same, butits now condensed, smaller, like a sample size. Might as well just watch the movie,and if you have the books already, then this is just pointless. Moments of my downtimeI can't get back.
review 2: five great stories all in one book. Initially I bought it because it had the Shawshank Redemption and Room 1408 in it. The latter of which I had read a short passage from in Stephen King's 'On Writing', which I already liked a lot.Firstly, I have you know that I had seen the film adaptions from 1408 and the Shawshank before I started... more reading them. Both were great films and although I must say I really enjoyed reading the stories the films of these were better in my opinion.I was caught off-guard by Low Men in Yellow Coats. I wasn't expecting a story like this in this book (even though the Shawshank's in it). I was hooked from the first page. And after I'd read it I immediately watched the film and boy did they drop the ball on that one. Like King says in his introduction: The individual scenes work great, but the story works much better in the book. And I completely agree with that. One sidenote though, in my opinion this story got a bit stretched. It could have done with a bit of more editing.The Mangler is the kind of story I love to read from a guy like Stephen King. If you try to recommend it to someone they will, most likely, laugh at you, "A demon in a machine? Yeah Right!" But it's these kinds of stories that make King the great writer that he is because he makes it believable and draws you in with every page. I would give this book 5 stars were it not for Children of the Corn. I was expecting much more from this story and it didn't do it for me. It is really vague and I think this story was wasted just for the fact that it was a short story. Low Men, was a bit too long, Children of the Corn was a bit too short. All the ingredients were there to make this story really good, but by its lack of depth it didn't work out for me.Still, the book as a whole is definitely worth reading, worth recommending and worth reading again. 4 stars! less
