Depends on what types of stories you enjoy. He writes such a variety. I really think there is a King book for everyone 🙂

I’ve read IT with no problems but the Tommyknockers freaks me out for some reason. Still an amazing book though.

I think that’s why I like it. I read King for the shiver up my spine ?

Really? I wonder why that is?
I have a copy but I have to say it’s not one of my favourites, although I’ve still read it at least twice.

That is too funny you said that! We own a little bookstore and 1 day this guy comes in to sell us a bunch of mm books that were in the worst condition ever (we had to recycle most of them) and Eyes of the Dragon was among them. He went on & on about how rare it is and no one can find it. Later that same day another customer comes in to sell us her Stephen King collection (she was moving across country, couldn’t take with)and what do we find? A HC of Eyes of the Dragon…go figure!

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon tends to go under the radar a lot, but it is King at his best if you ask me. Worth a read.
