NerdWriterGirl1984 it should’ve been called Stephen King’s Bible On Reading PRAY TO THE KING!!!!

Respectfully disagree I thought needful things was fantastic

I thought Needful Things was amazing, but I can see why not everyone likes it. It isn't as well-written as some of his best, but I loved it. I also thought Insomnia was incredible.

Beautiful collection. I love looking at collections on bookshelves, it’s so satisfying!

@@divad44 In my opinion once you connect with a story of King and you are - so to say - willing to consider the different layers he often develops in parallel then the books are truly amazing even when eventually the main plot has some weakness in the ark of suspence. Which in not a thing I would say happens in this specific one but I assume - because I like King - that some of his works are in a way experimental. And from that perspective they generate quite differentiated reactions. For instance Gerald´s game is a book that I do not like but I still think that it is a great book :-) I guess the whole book is not made for being liked and the partial monotony is a stilistic thing to emphasize the weird situation. Or maybe I am just biased :-)

I wish I liked it! I just remember not.... Ive been on a king bender this year can’t wait to read more of his books! Finished the outsider and about halfway done with the institute

You don't know what you're missing about The Shining. Yes, he changed. He can't write books like Cujo, Christine, Shining or others. Why ? Because the times were living in. Computers, cell phones.

I mean it's not like he couldn't write stories that are set in the 70s-80s if he wanted so I don't get your point, I mean I don't entirely agree with the whole thing about King not being able to write good stories anymore, Under the Dome, 11/22/63, Revival and Doctor Sleep were pretty good IMO but your point about him not being able to write stories like Cujo doesn't make sense, if he wanted to write stories set in the 70s-80s he could.

This is the most entertaining review video I've ever seen! Also, I completely agree with you when it comes to the Mr. Mercedes trilogy. I was so ready for a series without supernatural elements!

I love your collection! I'm only just recently getting into Stephen king. I only own IT and the shining and I haven't started either of them yet. I'm excited to read them. Cujo and misery sound good too

Great video man. I've been waiting a long time for a video that goes deeper into your book collection. In your book collection videos you just kind of skip ahead but this was very nice.

I loved this... I have a similar collection and agree with King bungling the ends. He's a pantser. That's why the ends suck but the characters are amazing.

just subbed you, I was looking for a kind of king list as I am missing a few. You are spot on with your critique of old Kingy love your quirkiness, your very entertaining keep it up.

patrick Rothfuss did the 1st person 3rd person switch thing. An amazing writer.

The way you said welcome at the beginning wallcome

Totally agree with the shining lol really hard to finish that one lol and I also loved the deadzone

Great collection. You have made up mind to add Dolores Claiborne and the Bachman books to my tbr. Thanks.

11/22/63 you didn’t like the ending? Of about 20 reviews I’ve watched I think 20 didn’t just like the ending, they LOVED it. People were balling as they recounted the touching, heartbreaking end. I just finished it and loved every page including the ending. It was a Casablanca ending. Sacrifice your happiness for the greater good....

Stephen King used to be a very good writer, but I stopped reading him after The green mile, which I consider his best novel of the 90s decade. Different seasons in my opinion is his best short stories collection (Shawshank Redemption is the novella I prefer most of all) and my favourite King's novel is Pet Sematary, I've read 4 or 5 times.

very nice collection

You’re right about Joyland. I read it just over 2 years ago and have forgotten it more than his stuff I read ten years ago

bro tell me how do u read that book in three days. tell me man. i cant read so fast 4 months reading IT on and off enjoying it but wanted to read more books but at this speed i cant.

I actually really like Dreamcatcher save for its very saggy middle. But right after that it picks up the pace

"whetever works your boat" reminds me of what I said to my kid the other day who wouldn't be quiet "shut your horse... mouth.." I guess I was also trying to tell her to "hold your horses."

The books written by Bachman were page-Turners on Overdrive - BTO

I thought Needful Things moved. But agree with you on the all the rest. Eyes of the Dragon is fantastic, btw.

First I read was the dark tower series. Will probably always be my favourite. Then I would prob go, salems lot, the stand, the talisman. Didn't read many of his books yet. I read 3 quarters of "IT" and found it so slow so I stopped.. Currently reading the shining, really enjoying the characters , it'll probably be a good one

I just finished my first Stephen king book IT . It was amazing

Needful Things was a bit long and the ending took a mild dump but it's still a great story. Desperation and the regulators are both pretty kick ass from beggining to end. Both have the same characters fighting the same monster yet neither one is a sequel and they both stand on their own.

... no gypsies near me.... now what do I do...?

Only King book I didnt like at all out of the 9-10 I read is Dark Half. Almost didnt give him another chance after that book. Almost lol

you should read the regulators.. actually maybe dont... cuz you liked desperation... and i thought that stunk.

Thank you for the spoiler for the end of watch book

I find listening to your opinions very interesting. Stephen King seems to be an author that really divides opinion. For example, I loved Christine but hated The Running Man.

2:05 Did you just call The Body “okay”? THAT’S HOW I GOT INTO STEPHEN, AND IT IS MY FAVORITE BOOK EVER!!!

I wish I could like his writing style!

5:46

I also actually really enjoyed Dolores Claiborne as well. Did not care for desperation at all, that's the only other King book I've put down aside from IT. It would probably be my least favorite from King so far. I'd like to try out the Regulators and see if I like it any better. And his newest book that he wrote with his son really just seems like a political statement to me, an ultra feminist statement which I really am not in the mood to read right now, so I haven't bought it yet, will at some point though so I can have it in my King collection.

I'm not sure if you assessment of King's books can be taken seriously. You just said that The Dark Half didn't have a Kookie Weird-ass ending, which is wrong.

Have read nowhere near as many Stephen King books as you but based on what I have read: disagree on the shining, personally I loved it, agree completely on misery it was so good but didn’t enjoy the book within the book parts, agree on Gerald’s game as I went into it with high hopes but found it so boring, 100% agree on the dark half and tho k it’s one of his most underrated books then finally agree with IT as loved most of it but not the ending.
