I kinda liked Dreamcatcher. The part where the aliens head explodes was crazy, and totally unexpected the first time I saw it. And no I never read that book.

Anyhow, SK definitely cannot write a good ending for the most part. But he has some great ideas, as does his son.

As far as his books, a previous poster nailed it. His good stories are gems, but for the most part he puts out overwritten trash. |

Even my wife, who reads like two books a ****ing week Says he's overrated as ****.
My wife is like Rain Man (Dustin Hoffman, not CP) reading books. Quite the expensive habit.

I still say my favorite SK works are his short stories. Skeleton Crew has been my #1 collection of short stories in any genre since I was a teenager.

Different Seasons was excellent- Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption, The Body, and Apt Pupil were great reads with two out of three of those movies being pretty good as well.

Although I'll admit there's no substitute for an actual book in your hand

I'm reading American Assassin right now in hardcover. It's been a bit since I've read anything other than the Kindle or a paperback and I've enjoyed the nostalgic feel of a hardcover, as funny as that sounds. |
