This may sound dumb, but I’ve never read for this man. I’ve always just heard about him on social media but never ventured to read his work. Opinions, please. Should I invest? Feeling like fiction lately. I’ve read so much non-fiction through throughout my life that I think I deserve a couple of fiction books to get busy with for a little while.
Thanks in advance
Fuck Steven king. He wrote a perfectly good start to the dark tower series. Then he wrote books 5,6 and 7 and fucked it all up. God-damned son of a bitch. I’d have preferred to have been left with blue balls after wizard and glass than to have gone through the shit that followed.
But, that being said, I highly recommend books 1-4 of the dark tower series.
THANK YOU! The six year long cliff-hanger to Wizard and Glass was enough for me to stop reading his books altogether.
Movies made from King books are usually classics, though, as long as King himself is not part of the production process. His remake of The Shining was a stream of hot vomit to the face. But Kubrik’s version is a masterpiece.
You should read Misery.
