Lisey's Story: A Novel 442 reviews
Stephen King
Pocket, 2007
Longtime King reader
+ A Rich Read
+ Steven King
I have read almost all of King's books, and Lisey's story is one of my favorites. I think he really crosses into some great literature here. It starts out a bit slow, but gains serious momentum. I thought the backstory was the most engaging part of the story. King always does seem to have alot of ...

Everything's Eventual: 14 Dark Tales 11 reviews
Stephen King
Pocket, 2007
King's Most Rewarding Collection
+ Great Collection of Short Stories
+ King's Short Stories are His Best
The introductory essay on short story-writing is worth the price of this collection alone; fans of King's "On Writing" book will want to pick this up for that reason. General fiction fans may find the O. Henry-winning story "The Man in the Black Suit" to their tastes, while more diehard fans will ...

Wolves of the Calla (The Dark Tower, Book 5)381 reviews
Stephen King
Pocket, 2006
The Wolves of Calla...an excellent addition to the Dark Tower series
+ Defending A City In Gunslinger Tradition
+ Keeps getting better!
This is my favorite book of the Dark Tower series.
I've never been a huge fan of horror (Stephen King's or anyone's else) but the fantasy aspect of this particular series has really caught my attention. And in truth this is much more fantasy than your typical Stephen King horror.
In their ...

+ A great fantasy tale, but ....
+ Eyes of the Dragon
Ok, so I am a huge Stephen King fan, and I do like most of his books, but there are a few I absolutely loathe. When I first read this book, I had no idea what to expect, and I ended up getting hooked to the story, and read it all the way through in one sitting, which is extremely unusual for me; ...

The Dark Tower Series is perhaps my favorite series out there...there's nothing quite like it. I've enjoyed all the books in the series for different reasons, but Wizard & Glass has always held a special place in my heart. It's the only book I find special enough to review.

A method actor who received much of his training at the famed Actor's Studio, Eli Wallach has been delivering stellar performances on both stage and screen for the past 50 years. He gives us one more outstanding performance as he narrates Stephen King's lauded Insomnia.

Excellent collection
+ plenty of page-turning scary stuff

Skeleton Crew is a great collection that includes "The Mist," a classic novella, as well as a number of shorter stories. "The Mist" is an incredible story not just for its supernatural elements but more for its human development. It is - beyond just a horror story - an examination of mob psychology ...
