Whatever he was doing I think he did a pretty good job.Danielle Birchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11796467053451208102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290421183272663684.post-1803867508518218062009-06-09T20:56:07.284+01:002009-06-09T20:56:07.284+01:00Sophie - As with most things, it's best to mak...Sophie - As with most things, it's best to make up your own mind on King. I suggest reading a handful of his novels before forming an opinion of him one way or the other. My recommendations would be Duma Key, Hearts in Atlantis, Misery, The Long Walk (as Richard Bachman) and/or The Green Mile. At least one of those should do it for you. <br /><br />Barry - If you do end up rereading Cujo, be sure to let me know if you feel it has diminished or if it remains one of his best...<br /><br />Brian - worth checking out, definitely. Deceptively simple but really quite effective...and the ending isn't a letdown for a change!<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by, guys.Steven J.

Your review has made me want to pull this one off of the shelf and re-read it for the first time in about 7 years.Barry Napierhttp://www.barrynapierwriting.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7290421183272663684.post-59662691421671599592009-06-08T23:25:48.849+01:002009-06-08T23:25:48.849+01:00Sounds good.

I read 'The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon' and thought that was pretty good, but I tried to read 'Salam's Lot' but didn't understand what was going on... Maybe that's just me.Sophie Playlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14937622260333202138noreply@blogger.com
