stephen king

I love his books, my mum got me into them. My favourite is It (it's the most amazing and ambitious and smart and amazing book ever), which I've just finished, but Christine is really good as well, and the aforementioned Misery. Oh and The Stand is really impressive. I haven't seen any of the movies because apparently they aren't as good as the books, and I'd rather remember for the story for how I've imagined it than how the film interprets it. I think the books always have a lot going on in them, with lots of minor characters and backstories that would be hard to translate for the screen apart from in a TV series.

Oh but I've seen the Shining (haven't read the book) and it's really good, and pretty scary in places.

i just finished duma key , and i was breathless...very very good book , and i'm expecting a movie to be made from it ..

That's just been recommended to me! Apparently it is quite scary.

I enjoyed Misery and Cats Eye, of coasre things were left out or changed due to the period and their rating system and content, then again if they where word for word on most books to movies we would being sitting in a cinema for 5+ hours.

yeah ....i know what you mean ....did you read rose red? they made a movie about it ..it stretches for 6 hours but it is my favourite movie ...i recommend it to you if you are willing to watch it ...it has a lot of truth in it and was based upon real events..

i agree. i have that movie and i can never tire of watching it. it is one of my favorite movies as well. i can't remember if that house is still standing though.
