Stephen King's It [1990] Stephen King's It [1990]
Is there anything scarier than clowns? Of course not. And who knows scary better than ... more
Stephen King? You see where we're going. It puts a
malevolent clown (given demented life by a
powdered, red-nosed Tim Curry) front and center,
as King's fat novel gets the TV-movie treatment.
Even at three hours plus, the action is condensed,
but an engaging Stand by Me vibe prevails for much
of the running time. The seven main characters, as
adolescents, conquered a force of pure evil in
their Maine hometown. Now, the cackling Pennywise
is back, and they must come home to fight him--or,
should we say, It--again. Admitting the TV-movie
trappings and sometimes hysterical performances,
this is a genuinely gripping thriller. As so often
with King, the basic idea (the bond formed during
a childhood trauma) is clean and powerful, a
lifeline anchored in reality that leads us to the
supernatural. --Robert Horton

Kings new book on being a writer
Review of Stephen King by aitchison21

Advantages: Insightful, humorous, great advice on writing
Disadvantages: none

...I am a fan of Stephen King. I was complaining that everybody who had written a book on the writing process were not best-selling authors, and then this falls from the sky. The book is split into two, the first part being an abridged autobiography and the second part giving advice on the writing process, mostly novel writing. The two parts are engrossing and intriguing at the same time and manage to capture the man himself, and not just the tuxedo ...
...peak inside the brain of Stephen King. The second part leads us to the craft of writing and does it all very subtly, not in a rule book kind of fashion. I felt alive when I was reading it and couldn't wait to start my own writing again. He dispenses pearls of wisdom at the drop of a hat and leads us to believe that if he can write a book anyone can. One of the best pieces of advice he gave in the book was 'read a lot and write a lot, that is the ... Read review

More than straight up horror
Review of Stephen King by josiefan

Advantages: Well written, (unconscious?) insight into the beast within us all.
Disadvantages: Not for the faint of heart.

Stephen King, one of the greatest horror writers of our day, countless films made from his books and he's not averse to writing one of two things himself. But my first taste of Mr King was something completely different, I think I was about 8 years old (I'm now 17) and, as kids do, was complaining about being bored, so my dad - a huge fan - handed me a book called The Eyes Of The Dragon. Instead of being a horror book, as I expected even at that ...
...kings and the good old baddies you see in fairytales - only slightly badder to make it interesting. He began his career under the name Richard Bachman and wrote a few books to see if they would sell, they did and he began to use his real name. Probably the best book he wrote as Bachman was The Regulators, though all were very readable, and Thinner was indeed made into a film. Most people know the book/film Carrie, and most people who know it, like ... Read review

NIGHTMARES FOR THE PAST MONTH THE GREEN MILE
Review of Stephen King by heather12uk

Advantages: YOUR HOOKED
Disadvantages: NO SLEEP DUE TO NIGHTMARES AND NOT BEEN ABLE TO PUT THE BOOK DOWN

I STARTED READING STEPHEN KING BOOKS A FEW MONTHS AGO AND EVERY NIGHT I HAVE A KNIGHTMARE. THATS JUST HOW SCARY THEY ARE. I STARTED OFF WITH THE GREEN MILE WHICH IS THE BEST BOOK I HAVE EVER READ. YOU MUST READ THE BOOK BEFORE YOU WATCH THE FILM. YOU GET SO MUCH MORE FROM THE BOOK, THE FILM LOOSES MORE THAN HALF OF THE STORY. IT HAS EVERYTHING IN IT , IT MAKES YOU LAUGH, CRY, GET ANGRY AND HORRIFIED. YOU LOVE THE CHARECTERS EVAN THOUGH THEY ARE DEATH ...
...AS HORRIFYING AS USUAL FOR STEPHEN KING. BUT AS I SAID BEFORE YOU WILL FEEL EVERY EMOTION POSSIBLE WHILE READING THIS STORY. added on sorry about the captital letters my baby was sick on the keyboard and the shift key will not work. so from now on i will type in little letters untill i invest in a new keyboard. anyway to continue after finising the green mile i was desperate to get some more stephen king books and as i have just been made redundant ...

The "King" of fiction
Review of Stephen King by mrighart

Advantages: Capturing books
Disadvantages:

Since I read my first Stephen King I was fascinated by his stories. Although I normally don't like the genre of books King writes, he captured me from day one. He creates his own world, parallel to the normal world, in which bizar and fascinating things happen. His characters are always easy to identify with, so you really are absorbed by the story, from beginning to end. His books are easy to read and I love cuddling up in a chair trying to read ...
...I saw an interview with Stephen and I was surprised to see that, in person, he is a very likeble guy. I thought with the weird stories he writes het would be a bit weird himself :-)).It seems he has an eye desease and he runs the risk of becoming blind within a few years. I was very sorry to hear that, of course for him, but also for his readers. I hope he will find a way of keeping on writing his great books. ... Read review
