Ok, I'll give you that. That being said, The Stand is one of my favorite Stephen King books. But it is a little wordy.  The first 200 and last 200 pages are superb. It's the middle 400 that I skimmed when I reread The Stand. I actually loved his first few books right up through The Stand. Salem's Lot may be my favorite horror novel ever. He became commercialized and needed to "feed the machine." Cujo marked the beginning of the downhill slide to me. I cannot read King any more, and have not been able to do so in decades. I quit reading King many, many years ago, I think It may have been the last one I read until recently. Steve gave me Duma Key, which I thought really caught the passion he used to have for his writing. I really liked it. |

I actually liked the movie quite a bit. I really hated Molly Ringwald, though, and there was a lot they left out/added that kind of detracted. Overall, though, I think they did a pretty good job. Generally, I don't like the movies they make from his books. Big exceptions are The Shining and Carrie. |

ever, in your opinion? I'm not asking for your favorite, although I understand that will somewhat bias your opinion. I believe it is Mark Twain. Wait, I didn't read the TP, just the subject. YOU, my friend, have just entered best friend status instantly!

I liked it but it was a little bit to made for TV....I didn't like Molly Rindwald either! They had that Hospital experience he had made into a movie too! |
