And I must say, it is an amazing read. Took me awhile, but it was worth it. Anyone else heard of this book?

 

No no one has ever heard of it. lol I've heard of it but never read it. His books don't interest me.

 

It's the one with the clown isn't it? Clowns are freaky enough without Stephen King's twisted take on them. Mrs T is really into horror books, but I really don't see the attraction. It's very subjective, I guess.

 

Yeah, I read it. It's really good.
Although I don't get why it makes people so afraid of clowns.. a clown was just one of the forms it took
I read Stephen King all the time, I have like 30 of his books

 

I've read two SK books, although it was some years back...'The Shining' and 'Carrie'..... out of interest, and after seeing the films.
I thought he was a pretty good writer, much better than I expected from a writer of the 'horror' genre !!

 

RE SK From a Buick 8 was good too I thought, but you might get bogged down in part of it. Being a fast reader helps you get past the slow parts, though.

 

Not Heard Of "it"???

Hello??? Being a Richard Bachman Fan (Read almost every thing made by him), heard of all he's made...
Though if i wasn't a fan, I would have to have been been dead for at least a century to not have heard of the book, seen the made for TV Movie, or seen the remake of the made for TV movie, to not have heard of "IT".

 

'It' was good, but 'The Shining' scared the hell out of me!! There were parts where I just had to close the book, it was just too creepy. I like SK, but I also like Koontz, but I haven't read anything recently by him.

 

King is better than Koontz...I read Misery by King and I liked it...I don't read too much King though...I'll have to read It.

 

read a bunch of King books

It was good but there are better in my opinion

 

Misery was a really good one, one of my favs

 

Mine too.

 

Never realized that 'Misery' was one of King's, but the film was great !!

 

I've never read any of King's books, but the scene with the wooden block and the hammer in the Misery film still makes me go cold.

 

there's a lot of movies out there that are based on King's books, and a lot of them you probably wouldn't think were his creations, I'll have to see if I can find a good example of one

 

'Christine' was another one, but I wasn't that impressed with the film, which I think was by John Carpenter ??

 

Obvious one being "Shawshank Redemption", but also "The Lawnmower man", which shared pretty much nothing but the title with the source short story.

 

and another one would be "Stand by Me"

 

yea, not one of the better ones

speaking of King, who watched Nightmares and Dreamscapes this summer?

 

I loved the Pet Cemetary. the way King wrote was wonderful... He gets the reader to actually follow along with the Father's rationalization to bury his poor dead son there in that cemetary... horrifying and pathetic all at once.
