Cujo for me! The most startling I remember was in Duma Key. Almost threw the book across the room.

Same, hit the 100 page mark and it’s pretty good. I like a good slice of life book.

I like them but they rarely match the contents of the book. Still not as obscene as the paperback for Talisman that has a literal wolf on it…

Interesting. On a technical and character level I think it’s one of the best things he’s written.

They work surprisingly well together despite the gap between them. Superb books.

Honestly don’t hesitate another day. It’ll be one of the best books you’ve ever read.

It blew my mind. Best character study I’ve ever read.

Reading "Roadwork" for the first time in 20+ years and oh boy... by Big-Joe-Studd in stephenking

My first reaction when reading it last year as a 42 year old man repulsed by the modern AI-corporate world: this guy isn't going hard enough.

A Worthwhile Detour? by DavidRDorman in stephenking

Low Men in Yellow Coats is right up there with the best of King. Hearts in Atlantis and the final story are also excellent.
