A romantic and funny adventure entwined with cultural differences Advantages: Very absorbing and you can be drawn deeply into the philosophy of life Disadvantages: Has too much of a central theme without sufficient subplots INTRODUCTION Poor communication is often the downful of many promising relationships.

Misery - Stephen King Advantages: Psychological thriller, a roller coaster of emotions Disadvantages: A bit slow in places ...favourite novels, the creator of Misery Chastain, she couldn't believe her luck and decided to keep him all to herself. After all she was his number one fan.... But Annie was angry, very angry that Paul had killed Misery and decided that he must write a new 'Misery' novel just for her. Stephen King lets the story unfolds through the eyes of 'hostage' Paul. There is good character developement as this psychological novel progresses, Paul's pain ... ...cruelly dashes, and a roller coaster of despair, acceptance and fear. Annie's character swings unpredictably from sickly sweet to derranged and brutal, with her past unfolding through the pages of her journal.

Carrie by Stephen King, amazing mind catching thriller Advantages: wonderful storyline, great imagination Disadvantages: not suitable for younger readers ...and book. The storyline to Carrie is intelligent and well written, in my opinion it is a wonderful film, and unlike some horrors, it scares you not through gore and making you leap out of your seat with fear, but it uses clever and insightful language and real life experiences which i believe makes a better horror any day. All of the Stephen King books and films i have seen through my time has made me into a great fan of his work he is a wonderful ... x-x-krazyk8-x-x 13.09.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Carrie - Stephen King	Would you read it again?
