The Stand

The ending is stupid but the rest of the book is quite enjoyable.

Stephen King has always said that he could never write a good ending. I'd agree with him, they tend to be weak.

I used to get into his work, but his more recent stuff just isn't that interesting. Honestly, he probably hasn't written anything great since the mid-80's, if not before. I've read mostly mixed reviews by people on The Dark Tower, it didn't do much for me. Finished the third book myself and largely forgot about the series during the wait for the next one. Don't particularly miss it or regret not finishing it. He's been largely living off name recognition for years now.

Cujo is the best book of his. The emotion that you feel while reading the book is genuine and it freaks you the hell out. Wonderful book. Others are good but some are far longer than they should be (It The Stand.) I've read probably 15 of his books or so.

I've enjoyed most of his books except for the Dark Tower series. His horror/mystery books are better in my opinion. I agree about The Stand, good book, lame ending.

Another couple I would suggest are: The Green Mile and It.

Dude its fucking bad how many times I've tried to finish that book and have never made it and thats bad coming from considering I read alot and I've finished every book I've ever read I get about half way through the book and I just sorta forget about it.

Also I really liked the dark tower those books were awesome.

I suggest Geralds Game, Hearts in Atlantis, and The Eyes of the Dragon.
