Review: Stephen King's - The Shining Advantages: Birliant story, realistic book Disadvantages: None ...enjoyed reading them at night. The Shining isn't an exception. I was reading it after midnight for about 1 month. It was really exciting expierence. I was really scared while and after reading this book, because everything was written in book, seemed to be pretty realistic. Would I recommend you to read this book ? Yes! Why ? Because it's the best book I ever read in my life. Be sure that I like reading books and I had read many of them. ...

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?

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. This is not a jolly novel, the 'Misery' of the title mirrors Paul's predicament, but I read with a constant hope that things would turn out OK in the end. The newly typed pages of the captors enforced writting are tedious at times, as is some ...

A trip through the "different seasons" Advantages: funny, well crafted, descriptive Disadvantages: not a piece of bad here. with the exception of the silly blurb.:P ...others may have already said, Different Seasons is King's finest example of literature outside the horror genre. He has been marked out as a horror writer for years and this really shows me can do almost anything. I think by far the best short story in here is Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption, the tale of a man wrongly sent to jail for 2 life sentences. Loads more people have seen the brilliant movie starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins ... ...exellent read, they must read it themselves. The writing is great, with respect to detail and twists in the plot. The characters are well defined, you really get to feel for the them. The book has the strange ability to wrench the heart while at the same time constantly make you giggle to yourself, as it is peppered with King's trademark humour throughout. It's really just a story of Hope("Hope Springs Eternal) and how it can strengthen a person ... jovialduke 27.05.2007 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Different Seasons - Stephen King	Would you read it again?

Cell from Hell Advantages: Good Story, entertaining, quick read Disadvantages: Disappointing ending, not as descriptive as other King novels CELL STEPHEN KING I have come to the decision that Stephen King doesn't care much for modern technology-or the people who've created much of what we now rely on for everything in life day to day. In some of his other books, King has created worlds where Man-made viruses wipe out more than 99% of the world's population leaving the survivors facing a battle of biblical proportions. Cars inhabited by evil spirits kill people, or all the ... ...he hates mobile phones (or cell phones as we are being American in this book), and I don't think he cares much for the people who use them, uncaring of those around them. It certainly is a fact that we have become a society hooked on those little appliances, leaving manners, good sense and privacy to one side as we chatter and text away. In his own warped way King shows what could happen IF. If someone created some sort of virus-called in the book ... oldchem 08.11.2009 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Cell - Stephen King	Would you read it again?
