Ranking Every Stephen King Book I've Read so far ✨📖

[@gabbyreads]

What are your favorite Stephen King books?? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

[@sharath_95]

only read 4 books & my favorite is THE DARK HALF.

[@hospitalfood6621]

The Stand and Thinner. Thinner left me literally breathless. The pace…THAT ending….ohhhh my heart! I really really enjoyed Joyland too👍🏻❤️

[@kennyfernandez15]

Currently Billy Summers

[@hannam_dp]

The Green Mile is my ultimate fave 😎

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

The Green mile... that part you don't like doesn't last that long. Skip the description when you come to it. The rest of the story is worth it.

[@Meag_]

The biggest disservice that the book world does to SK is consider every book of his “horror”

[@Thecatladybooknook_PennyD]

Yep exactly. He did horror then tried different genres.... not horror other than the horror of man.

[@sueture]

He needs to stick to the horror genre...that's where he does his best work, undisputedly!

[@baalrogg]

@@sueture King has fantastic horror novels, but he has a LOT of non-horror that's absolutely top class as well. If he only wrote horror we wouldn't have Shawshank Redemption, The Body (the movie Stand by Me),11/22/63, the Dark Tower series, Dead Zone, The Talisman, the Bill Hodges trilogy (Mr. Mercedes) - and a number of others. King's storytelling is unbelievably versatile, and I agree that it's a shame most people only view him as a horror author.

[@bradleymcdonald6273]

Any story that deals with Fear, shock and disgust should be considered Horror... Which is any realistic story about Life ... It doesn't have to involve supernatural monsters And that was my problem with the Horror genre I avoided them because I thought they wouldn't deal with themes I'd find interesting... I was wrong... They are just tragedies and are still very human And funnily enough, i read more references from the Bible in Stephen Kings works than in most other authors I read... Sometimes it will because the character is a crazy lunatic preacher OR sometimes it will be someone grappling with their faith in God... Regardless of whether it's in a positive or negative light, I really enjoy that... Because it's very human And just as many SK readers love to see Dark Tower references... I'm the same way with Biblical Scriptures being quoted/used in fiction... It's rewarding From the 10 books I've read of his so far I am assuming he was raised in a Christian household

[@bradleymcdonald6273]

I haven't read pet semetary But for example, from what I understand with that stories plot It's not just about the undead killing people. That's your first thought when you think of horror... Something evil that kills But really it is a story tackling themes of Death/Loss. About accepting yours and your loved ones mortality ... And it shows the evil that can come from those who don't accept it Lastly I want to say... I believe that the general public believe that Stephen Kings works are Horror in the sense that they glorify evil... But that can't be further from the Truth Evil is only portrayed as Evil in his works... Evil is not placed upon a pedestal and worshipped... I'm never cheering on Evil when reading his novels... He is not a satanic writer

[@billkeon880]

To be fair, King was not an old man when he wrote Carrie….and apparently he was a teacher (before he switched to being a writer full time) so as a teacher he probably saw a lot of bullying and shaming of students which probably bothered him into writing this story.

[@lukewilliams6083]

He got a lot of the menstruation information from his wife.

[@yosurushi1427]

Yeah I understand her weirdness towards the book but I don’t find it that weird

[@BookOwl60]

Did you like Carrie ? What is your opinion ?

[@RushWuzhere]

[@cinnimonpannos4405]

I hate Carrie.

[@nieblaterrigena4516]

Literally today I thought about how rare my two obsessions felt together and here you are, talking about Stephen King with a Taylor Swift album behind you ❤ Loved the video!!

[@adriannaslibrary2909]

The thing is with Stephen King is he has such a diverse backlist and writes such a a variety of books that there are bound to be books that you don’t like. I don’t know of any hardcore Stephen King fans who absolutely love every single book. I feel like we all have those ones we really don’t like *cough cough* Carrie. ❤️

[@angelaholmes8888]

My favorite Stephen king books are 1. Billy summers 2. Dolores Claiborne 3. The stand 4. Wizard and glass 5. Insomnia 6. The talisman 7. The long walk 8. Rose madder 9. The wastelands 10.The gunslinger 11. Under the dome 12. Needful things 13. Sleeping beauties 14. Revival 15. Eyes of the dragon

[@PodRay4303]

For Carrie, you complain that Stephen King was an old man - it was published when he was 26. You make lots of comments about not connecting with older characters or POVs. That’s more about the reader than the writer.

[@pedestrianandroid]

I read Carrie recently in my late thirties you have to appreciate the psychology of it all

[@ruthypoo2675]

I really do think SK stories hit people differently because, sometimes, where you’re at in your life and/or what’s going on in your life can influence your perception. Sure, it’s that way for a lot of books, but the “when” in your life is significant. Also, if you read a book in the 80s that was written in the 80s it just lands differently because you’re living that same world. 🤷‍♀️

[@books-on-a-wire]

The Bill Hodges trilogy produced one of his best female characters, Holly, who keeps popping up and sounds like she's getting her own book...take my money now! Rose the Hat and her group was the most compelling part of Doctor Sleep and I would love a full-length book for them. Gerald's Game and Dolores Claiborne are new favorites for me.

[@blending_in]

OMG what a coincidence that you posted this video when I've been rewatching your Stephen King vlogs these past few weeks because I'm finally reading his books and can watch the spoilery parts!! (I asked you which book is your fav in one of your live videos abt a month ago and you said Pet Semetary so I started with that and absolutely loved it) I agreed with all of your opinions in the vlogs so I'm sure I'll agree with the ranking too. And YES KEEP DOING DEDICATED VLOGS FOR THE SK BOOKS YOU READ IN THE FUTURE PLEASE!!

[@actung74]

You don't like how King writes women yet you didn't finish Mr. Mercedes? His best female character makes her first appearance in this book which is of course, Holly Gibney.

[@emperorcupcake]

I would definitely read Needful Things, it's a classic and Leland Gaunt is an iconic villain! I'd also highly recommend The Dead Zone and Christine for more of his classic work, and Four Past Midnight for a solid short story collection

[@talesandtails9]

I feel like Needful Things is criminally underrated, so I second this.

[@sassysarahreads]

Needful things is a such a wild ride. I will never forget those little old ladies going at each other in the street with such pure rage.

[@hollycochran6940]

Just finished Needful Things for the second time. Do not bother with the movie, nothing like the book.

[@kait27]

Would love more dedicated Stephen King reading vlogs!

[@ReadingWryly]

Joyland was actually surprisingly heartfelt and fun. It’s not a typical King book, but it’s more of a coming-of-age story with a mysterious carnival murder-case at its heart and there’s also a character with ESP.

[@sunayananath9533]

The Mist is actually really good…open to interpretation kinda ending - nothing like the movie ending at all which was just heartbreaking 💔

[@hospitalfood6621]

I totally agree👍🏻

[@sarahbarden4135]

I didn't care for the movie ending at all. The rest of the movie was good though! The book ending was much better!

[@blakedelacruz-xf4fp]

​@@sarahbarden4135disagree. I loved the dark ending... too many happy endings out there and I'm glad we got a sad ending. Stephen King himself said he likes the ending of the movie more.

[@sarahbarden4135]

@blakedelacruz-xf4fp I appreciate those who preferred the movie ending. We all are entitled to like what we like. I definitely can appreciate a dark ending. I just get sensitive with things concerning children. Otherwise the ending was just fine.

[@everydaylifewithkat]

Absolutely love the Schitt's Creek ranking!!! I've haven't read any Stephen King, but if I was going to start I'll probably start with all your "Simply The Best" tier books.

[@ashtonreads]

Not me, someone who owns at least one copy of every single Stephen King book AND considers Schitts Creek to be my favorite comedy TV show XD It's a life bucket list goal of mine to read all of King's books and short story collections, and so far I've finished 27 so I still have a way to go lol

[@TheWitchofCrows]

I think with “The Body” many are familiar with the co inn of age movie “Stand By Me” it’s probably one of my favorite movies. Even though it takes place in the 1950’s may can relate, connect and remember when they were twelve. 😊

[@mattreadsandgames]

My fav is It! Finished the audiobook in 3 days, it was so good. I've read 24 of his books so far. Currently working through the dark tower series. Love the vids! You're doing great :)

[@alik7064]

I read the Dark Tower Series. There were some I loved and some I did not.

[@allygrimaldi1853]

I'd love to see you do a beginner's guide to Stephen King!! I'm trying to get into his books (I've only read "The Shining" so far) but it would be awesome to see where you recommend people start off! Love you and your videos

[@divad44]

I don’t think I’ve ever been so hyped for one of your videos ever as much as I am for this! Edit 1: you shouldn’t put be upset about only listing 19 and not 20. Coincidence I think not? The number 19 holds significant value in kings multiverse

[@melisafourmantin442]

Gaby!! I loved this video! I hope you can read The Outsider. I'm currently reading The book of accidents and I don't know why but it reminds me a lot of the outsider! They have similar vibes I think.

[@alquin9553]

Your editing for this tier ranking is very good. Sometimes when people do this their setup makes it hard to see the screen and the little bubble at the bottom is a good idea.

[@kaitieharty5634]

11/22/63 was my book clubs pick for this month but my friend changed her mind ( we each pick a book a month based off genre). I decided to still read it for this month because I’m so curious! I’m so happy that you loved it!

[@goatlord4508]

okay but the long walk was the most captivating book i’ve ever read

[@welldonebooks]

so interesting! Doctor sleep is one of my favorites of his that I've read, and the movie is one of my all-time favorite films. I am not super super obsessed with The Shining so i think im more interested in the effects of what happens in that one on Danny and seeing him get older and then mentoring Abra is super interesting to me. Joyland is a short easy summer-y read so maybe try that one soon? its not mind blowing or scary really, but a nice summeritme book!

[@thasbeehafaheema311]

Woahhhh Gabby, I was actually thinking to start my first Stephen King sometime soon and you posting a video related to it! 💗😚

Salems Lot is my fav. King book. As much as I love the movie I'd have to say I like the book The Shining more. And I Absolutely Love Doctor Sleep. The movie they made is in my Top fav movies list of all Time.

[@Msangiewow]

Please watch Stand by Me. Such a great movie!

[@dumbblondebooks]

Stephen King is SO intimidating to me for some reason… the short story collection with the “Black Mirror” type plot sounds amazing!! 💕

[@heavendude101]

The fact that you've read 19 Stephen King books and did not know the significance of the number 19 is amazing. If you ever read THE DARK TOWER you will know how important the number 19 is. This is an awesome coincidence. Let me give an example: In THE SHINING there is a room numbered 217. King said if you spilt 2 from 17 and add them together you get 19. In DUMA KEY, a lot of names are made up of 19 letters. There are many examples but I won't say because of potential spoilers. But do keep an eye out for the number 19 in Stephen King books (especially if you'll read THE DARK TOWER series.) I love your Stephen King content the most. This video was a treat. Thank you, Gabby.

[@alik7064]

I love how the number 19 is so important

[@riteshtimalapur7592]

I thought the same thing she mention the number 19 !!😂

[@AngeloOceanMagic]

i agree. the number 19 is an important number in the Dark Tower series

[@sarahbarden4135]

The Mist and Needful Things are God Tier for me so I would love to see your thoughts on those! I have put off reading 11/22/63 for the exact reasons you mentioned so you have inspired me to check it out now thank you! I did have some differing tastes in regards to Doctor Sleep, and The Stand. But I am old school. I read the Stand in middle school and it was one of my first King books. So I have a deep love for it. I am so glad you enjoy King and at the end of the day that is good and sharing the enjoyment! We should all respect and value differing opinions. I also rank my reading via Shitts Creek and also Friends.

[@angelaholmes8888]

Yes needful things is definitely god tier 💯😃

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

King is the man! The thing I love about his books isn't just that they're genuinely scary, but that they're packed with extreme amounts of emotion and a genius understanding of the inner working of the human mind.

[@lizzielemon]

I have read 18 Stephen King books and The Shining is my favorite 😍 but I also loved 11/22/63. From your tbr I highly recommend Needful Things and also Under the Dome. I loved them both!

[@emilee2222]

If you ever do decide to re-read IT one day, the audiobook is absolutely amazing!!

19 is actually a pretty important number in the Stephen King universe so I was like "that's perfect" when you said you read 19😂 Under the Dome and Full Dark, No Stars are my all-time King favs.

Came to the comments to see if anyone said this!

[@pratiksha2898]

Yes for more reading vlogs dedicated to Stephen King books, The outsider & If it bleeds would be good. I got The shining and Misery like last month maybe your video is a sign that I should get my hands on those.

Me and my family worked a long and labor heavy life. Reading books like "Holes" and "The Long Walk" , had me grinning because of how relatable the characters described getting physically exhausted and sore.

[@TumbleFourYa]

Can't believe you did Doctor Sleep like that😭😭 But it makes sense -- apparently fans of The Shining are NOT fans of Doctor Sleep, and tbh I kinda hate The Shining and much prefer the sequel😅😂 You should definitely do a reading vlog for Revival! It's so underrated and has such classic King vibes!!

I've read 71 King books - but the basic reason is that I started reading them in the 1970's, as they were published. My favorite is actually The Stand; I'd recommend that you try a re-read sometime in the future. Others I think you'd like include The Dead Zone, Firestarter, Bag of Bones, Duma Key, and Desperation. Keep up the good work!

[@moonthehybrid7854]

Little sad with some of your ratings For instance I personally love Carrie I am someone who got their period very early in my life and knew nothing about it like Carrie I didn’t have a breakdown in a shower room I was actually pretty calm But I did think something was wrong with me As well as I am the odd one out in my school dressing very boyish and liking stuff like horror which most people find weird (I have been called a psycho or sociopath a couple times) And yes Sure you can say it’s weird that a guy wrote about a girls period But one He wasn’t old He was 26 I believe when he wrote Carrie Two It doesn’t matter what gender writes about stuff like that From what I know his wife helped him a bit so he wasn’t going off of things he heard or stuff Personally I don’t understand the complaints of “oh a man wrote it so that makes it weird” It’s a natural thing that happens to girls so yk It’s not like “it’s rare to get a period” no everyone gets it at some point The whole “males can’t write things about female characters” is stupid I write stories myself and most characters are males and I am a female If that’s the case with males can’t write females than females shouldn’t write about males It’s just something I wish you worded differently or had a better excuse cause honestly that’s not a good excuse and it’s a bit of an annoying one But of course I respect your opinion I do agree the religious stuff made me uncomfortable as a non-religious person myself But I just wish you worded it differently As for Doctor Sleep I personally loved Doctor Sleep the movie I have not read the book From what I heard I think a lot of people liked the movie more than the book but honestly I wish people would hate less on it cause a lot of people I met doesn’t read the book or watch the movie cause a lot of people hate it Of course I respect your opinion again! I just liked Doctor Sleep the movie I like Rose the Hat as an antagonist cause we need more female horror antagonist I haven’t actually read the Shining yet it’s gonna be one of the last books I read cause that book is thick- but I’m excited to read it than read Doctor Sleep Also once again about how he writes women I’ve seen many women writers write their female characters like that In fact a author I love writes female characters a lot like that If it’s a opinion on it’s a man writing it again I would reword that or try to find a better excuse cause once again it shouldn’t matter if it’s a male or female writing the characters Respect your opinion It’s just reword it a bit better Other than that great video!

I also can’t wait for Fairy Tale to come out later this year, it sounds so good. You should definitely give Stand by Me a try, it’s so worth a watch. I also like Schitt’s Creek so you can put me in that Stephen King/Schitt’s Creek fan category 😂

Also, The Body definitely is better as a movie and the same goes for Silver Bullet aka The Cycle of the Werewolf.

Also I forgot to mention, Gabby, that you have to read the Bill Hodges trilogy (which are MR MERCEDES, FINDERS KEEPERS and END OF WATCH) before reading THE OUTSIDER and IF IT BLEEDS. The characters from the trilogy carry over to the latter books. But since you've DNF'd MR MERCEDES, I doubt you'll read the rest of the books. It's all up to you, in the end.

Great video Gabby. The Green Mile is my fave SK book and movie. I have seen the movie a zillion times and it eats me up every time, If you haven’t seen it you must, John Coffey is one of his best characters. I read the books when they were first released and they brought it out in 6 parts and you had to wait a month for the next instalment. The next year they brought it out as a full book and I have read it many times since.

The Green Mile was emotional for me. The movie tore my heart into pieces. Revival was 5 stars, read it a few years ago and I still keep thinking about it. It's SUPER weird though, so be prepared to feel like...WTF just happened. Cujo scared the shit out of me when I read it as a teenager. I've been reading his books for almost thirty years. For the past couple of years I've been re-reading them in order of publication so I can refresh my memory.

[@KrystalAddiWatson]

I agree about the Shining - I'm afraid animated animal bushes are not scary, and water hoses definitely not. The movie knew where the scares were.

While reading Misery, once I realised that the novel within the novel is actually irrelevant to the story, I started skipping them entirely. I mean for the most part I still know what the story was because Paul and Annie discuss the plot several times anyway...

My top 5 books: 1) Different Seasons 2) Skeleton Crew 3) Night Shift 4) The Stand 5) 11/22/63 Stephen King's strength is in his short fiction, not his novels. He has a well earned reputation for beginning a story, but not finishing to any satisfaction. I wonder if that's a reflection on his love life?

I’m defiantly in the need for a gabby vlog with Stephen king books and you should also watch Stand By Me and give us your thoughts on it compared to the book! 😊❤️❤️

I love The Shining book, John Torrance is was more likable in the book which makes what happens super tragic. Jack Nicholson is not a bad actor at all but he has absolutely no subtlety or nuance in my opinion. And even though I love Shelly Duvall, Wendy in the book is a much stronger mother to me. This is just my opinion of course. I don’t hate the movie, there is definitely merit to preferring the movie over the book. I think the book just hit me greater

Jack Torrance* excuse me

My favourite SK books are the Dark Tower series. I would highly reccomend them

King's 11/22/63 got me to read him after dismissing King for years. I was duly impressed. You won't be happy to hear this, Gabby, but the Mr. Mercedes trilogy were my next best favourites. I am going to tackle the Gunslinger books next.

You need to do a podcast like this with your sis on Stephen King films. Compare to books you've read??

[@angelaholmes8888]

Oh that's a great idea
