The Stand Advantages: Characters, once you start u cant stop! Disadvantages: Size means it might take some time to get through. ...friend who told me that The Stand is by far the best of all Stephen King novels. After getting over the shock of how big the book is (i much prefer a shorter read!) I read the first chapter, and literally couldnt put it down again. For those of you that dont know the plot then i dont think i could really sum it up for you without cheapening the story, but as with all King novels the narrative is very much character driven, with lots of different ... ...into with each characters different story helps to create the suspense and atmosphere that makes him one of the greatest writers of our time. I cant recomend this book enough, but whatever you do, DONT watch the cheaply made straight to TV adaptation instead! The word 'butchered' springs to mind. ... watdon 05.08.2008 · Read full review Ciao members have rated this review on average: helpful Review of The Stand - Stephen King	Would you read it again?

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?

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?

IT, King's masterpeice. Advantages: Details prose, emotional and terrifyingly good. Disadvantages: May be a bit too long for some readers. ...works in the genre. It is a long book, probably the longest next to The Stand but it is worth every page, so may not be a very good recommendation for all readers. Regardless of how many King book you have read in the past, IT will surely blow you away. For all Horror fans in general Stephen King’s IT, truly is a masterpiece. I have forced many a book fan to read the book and have yet to get a negative response. Fully recommended. Regards, Carwyn ...

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 ...
