Stephen King is a great author

[Catbelle]

I have read:

The Shinning
Carrie
Dreamcatcher (I coudln't finish it... too slow.)

Short stories:

Dolan's Cadillac
Chattery teeth.
Dedication.
The moving finger.
Sneakers.
You know they got a Hell of a Band

Films:

Carrie
Needful things.
Children of the Corn


I loved Carrie the most and the short stories. But I think he wrotes too slow, I mean too many pages and words to transmit the idea, his stories are really good and awesome but too many pages for it.

I used to be a Stephen King junkie. Liked all his stuff up until after Geralds Game. I got tired of him leaning on "Theres an evil energy trapped in the mountain" or "There's a kid with psychic abilities".

I skipped Geralds. I'm under the impression that getting hit by a car did Stephen King well on the book Department. Under The Dome, Duma Key, and Doctor Sleep surpass the crap that was Geralds Game and INsomia.

I'm one of the few that liked Geralds Game..I think because it is one of his books in that era that wasn't somehow supernatural. That's what burned me out, the supernatural stuff.

I need to give him another go. I've heard he has some good ones lately. (I do read his short story books..'Full Dark, No stars' and a couple other newer ones that I can't remember the names of..I also just read 'Joyland'..It didn't grab me)
