My dad is always recommending the Dead Zone by King so I'll pass on that recommendation! Apparently the US president in it is an arrogant egotistical a**hole making it weirdly current...

[@stephmorgan286]

I tend to enjoy his older stuff more - Cujo, Christine, Firestarter.

[@fatimasadaf07]

What about the Shining?? I suppose you allready read that

[@anah9017]

I loved the Dark Tower books. Needful things is my favorite ending, the ones that actually made me scared are the Shining, Duma Key and Bag of Bones. I thought the same as you of Sleeping Beauties and Elevation, and was also upset that Elevation won best horror, it's like a lot of people just saw SK and voted for that. Great video! I hope we get part 2 soon😃

[@CarolinaHernandezAuthor]

"Misery" is really really good, i enjoyed it quite a bit

As a Constant Reader since high school, I’m so glad to hear someone else praising “The Long Walk”! It’s definitely got a spot in my heart for how horrifying it depicts the dystopia within. My personal fav is “‘Salem’s Lot”, for some reason the story and the ending really resonated with me.

Gunslinger is a good book but I wouldnt reccomend it as a first time read simply because The Dark Tower series is full of easter eggs from, IT, The Stand, Salems Lot and a ton of other of his works.

I’d say if your brand new go Misery (very fast paced, easy to fly through and a classic of his) and then Needful Things (it’s one of his bigger books so a bit of an investment but it has a classic brillliant King villain and I’d say is one his most underrated books)

I would recommend reading the green mile, pet cemetary, firestarter, duma key, 11/22/63.

I find with most of his books, the beginning is his strongest point. I love Stephen King, but he can also be a hit or miss

[@tsukurutazaki1651]

I know that dark tower is a let down but trust me, The drawing of the three (sec book in series) is one of the best books in the series and I'm pretty sure you'll like it more than first one.

[@mojopie]

I looooove your shirt!!! The only King book I've read is Carrie and I really enjoyed it, it's pretty short and easy to get through with great characters. The characters are also really well developed and easy to sympathise with, so it can get emotional because of the subject matter! It's often recommended as a good place to start with King and it's definitely convinced me to read more of his books soon!

[@zzap6478]

I 100% agree with you regarding your review of IT. I particularly agree with you regarding that scene, which was completely unnecessary and I found very disturbing. I can't believe so many other reviewers gush over this book, but never mention that scene. Fortunately, it's removed from all the movie adaptations. ***SPOILER WARNING*** Being ex-law enforcement and having worked with child abuse victims for years, I was shocked. For the 11 year old girl Beverley to initiate such behavior (saying that she knows something that her father "told" her), and then continue with all the boys, even though it's causing her significant physical pain and bleeding, indicates that she was seriously sexually abused by her father. She clearly craved her father's love, but the "love" she experienced from her father, he distorted through sexual abuse and then extreme violence towards her because of his guilt. Her experience of "love" and "affection" has been distorted through sexual pain and abuse, that continued into adulthood through her partner. The scene does not highlight a bonding moment, by bringing them back together, or that she loves them, or the connecting of childhood and adulthood, as Stephen King intended, but disturbingly reveals the behavior of severely traumatized child.

[@sylwia91k]

I literally cheered when you said long walk was your favourite. It is also my favourite book of his. And also the first one of his that I read. One of my favourite books ever!

[@arianegutmann9971]

[@DeadCanuck]

It took me years to finally get to “Carrie”, I was surprised by it! The depiction of being a teenage girl seemed so raw and real. I learned after that his wife not only encouraged him to write it (after he threw out a first draft), but also gave him advice on how to write the “voice” of Carrie.

[@peachykeenchy8194]

I laugh every time someone says they didn’t like the ending of one of his books because of his newest It movie (if you know, you know). Anyway, I read Salem’s Lot and thought it was just...fine. One scene from it really stuck with me though so the writing was fantastic i just didn’t love the story. Cujo so far has been my number 1 favourite, i find in King’s books he sometimes has WAY too many characters but that wasn’t the case in Cujo i liked the amount of characters that were in that one. I really want to read It, The Running Man, and The Long Walk! Oh and also his new one, The Institute sounds dope

[@Katertot8895]

For It, the movies leave out *that* scene AND change the ending and make it better, so I think you'll enjoy them when you do watch them! They also gloss over some of the things that are not super important to the main plot (like that fire, for example). All in all, I think they did a great job turning It into movies!

[@GONZO4Sheriff]

Ironically enough, my favorite Stephen King book is probably The Gunslinger. My complaints about it (The Gunslinger) would come down to how incomplete the story feels without continuing the series, it very much almost feels like the pilot episode of a show or the first movie of a proposed trilogy. The series is a bit long now, 8 books and at least one short story in Everything's Eventual, but I think it's worth it, even with the ending. There is something akin to foundational fantasy with The Dark Tower, you can tell that he was inspired by Tolkien, but he wanted to make the fantasy world more contemporary, basically a long gone version of our own world. Pet Semetary is probably my second favorite just based on how dark it is. I would recommend the original Pet Semetary movie WAY before you watch the newest letdown version. King has a few iconic novels, and Bachman does too, but I think that King really shines with his short fiction, pretty much any of his anthologies are great, I would recommend Everything's Eventual, Nightmares and Dreamscapes, and Four Past Midnight.

[@ryanoseguera1207]

It is not only my favorite book by Stephen King, it's my favorite book period. I fell in love with the entire Loser's Club (both as kids and adults) and hated all the characters that were supposed to be hated. There were indeed a lot of scenes that genuinely terrified me. I 100% agree with what you said about THAT scene. HOWEVER, it didn't ruin the book nor did it bring down the book for me much like you (I guess there was a lot of story for me, in a book that's over 1000 pages, that overshadowed that mere 15 page scene). About the length...I feel it's as long as it needs to be for 2 main reasons (both really blend into each other the more I think about it). Stephen King, to me, took all that time to flesh out the characters as well as the backstory and history of Derry and It, all of which I found extremely fascinating. And I really do believe that if King were to have shorten the book by a large number of pages, we would see readers complain that the characters weren't fleshed out and that there wasn't that much explanation to the nature of It. But hey, that's just me. Your mileage may vary.

[@livslibrary]

I’ve never read a King book but have been looking for a good one to start with! Appreciate your honest opinions ♥️

[@NessNayii]

Hi there - I realise your post is two years old and you may have begun your Stephen King journey by now, but in case you haven't:- Firstly, it's best to know going in that SK doesn't write 'quick reads' filled with action on every page - which is probably why he has been so successful....and conversely why a lot of modern readers come to him excited, but walk away bored and frustrated. His books are immersive worlds, populated by characters with history and nuance - they are a journey, not a ride. If that sounds like your thing, you'll probably have a good time. So where to start? I guess you could go SK lite, just to get a taste of his style without diving into anything too involved, and begin with some of his short stories. Some good collections are 'Skeleton Crew', 'Full Dark, No Stars', and the four novellas in 'Different Seasons'. I started on King as a young teenager, and picked 'Christine' because of the age of the protagonists and the teenaged subject matter - it worked well for me at that age, so, if you're a teenager this may be a good first full length SK novel one for you. Thinner is one of his shorter novels, and zips by quickly by King standards, so that's also a good first time SK read. If you fancy diving straight into the meatier stuff, then Salem's Lot, The Shining, Firestarter, Cujo, Pet Sematary, and IT are all good. Bare in mind that whilst the ideas for some of these were original at the time (such as Salem's Lot), other folks have done similar things since then, in both print and screen, which might diminish their impact somewhat. Also worth noting: if you already know the ending of certain books due to them being part of popular culture now, getting to the 'good bit' (as it were) of such as 'Pet Sematary' might be a drag (though if you are going in blind, it's a great book). If you like thriller type books 'Dolores Claibourne' and 'Misery' are cracking. If you like grounded fantasy mysteries, 'The Green Mile' is spot on! Of course, everyone has their own favourites which just resonate with who they are as a person - for instance most folks love The Stand, but it wasn't really for me. Anyway, good luck, and I hope this has been of some (belated) use.

Thanks for the recommendations and opinions.

[@flowergirl2090]

I have read many of SK books and seen even more of the movie adaptations. I started watching some of the movies when I was a kid before I even knew who SK was. The books that I have read, I read mostly when I was in high school and college. I was really into his books and other authors of horror back then. As an adult my taste and style of books has changed, but I still really enjoy his books. For that reason, I haven’t read any of his newer stuff. Everything I have read was from the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s. Nothing from 2000 and on. I am now interested in reading a couple of the ones you have mentioned that are more recent. Also, a few of the old ones that I only watched the movie but never read the book. I suggest you read Carrie, Cujo, Thinner, Misery, and The Green Mile. Also, his book Four Past Midnight that is a book of 4 short stories.

‘Green Mile’ book is really good, the movie is pretty accurate in following the book.

The Shining is another of my favourites of his and the ending is so good! ☺

[@FeralRabbit]

100% agree with you about Stephen King and endings another author who is like that is Michael Crichton .they come up with brilliant ideas for stories they create worlds and then they don’t know what to do with it.

Needful things is on my list!!! Pet sematary and 11/22/63 are all ones I want to read soon too! (Just putting off reading them/picking them up because I know I’ve seen them at goodwill so many times before I was interested and now of course because I want to read them I can’t find them for cheap!! Lol)

I've tried to read a few of his books but the writing style just isn't for me which is sad because some of the story premises sound amazing.
