I am reading IT right now for the first time! I'm glad there wasn't any spoilers! And happy to know it is your number 1. Thanks for the video!!! Cheers.
I like your list because it is honest. I think people feel like they have to rank some SK books highly because they are classics. You didn’t have an obvious top 25. I think about Revival more than any other SK book I have read, so I was glad to see that one made your top 10. It is in mine too, but I still have several books to get through.
Hey man! That was a long watch! 😂 And I enjoyed every minute of it. Can’t agree on every book placement, but I have to say it’s a fair and very knowledgeable ranking (I haven’t read them all, and some I never will). I’m appreciate you’re not apologetic on your choices, some of the rankings i’ve seen spend more time back stepping than actually speaking about the books). About the misses: Would you consider a SK book: the comic Omnibus American Vampire? It will probably be on the back end of your list. Your list made me want to reread some of them, and give Revival a chance. Thank you, and i’ll keep watching.
I agree. I think we all have a book in our own top 10 list that would surprise everyone. My #2 is Black House. A lot of people don’t like it and I don’t get it. It has some of Kings best characters and such a great villain. King and Straub worked so well together. I put Insomnia in my top 10 as well. Such a great read.
I dunno, as for opening lines… I stopped reading King in 95 at age 16… and some of those lines just randomly stick forever (e.g. injun bring my fish); for me it’s “Jack Torrance thought: “Officious little prick.” 😂

Looks like you spent a lot of time on this. Good job You have ghost brothers ranked on here. And you talk about it as a “book”. As far as I understand it was just released as an album to go along with the play that was performed (which I saw btw and Bruce greenwood was great in it) but you make multiple references to it as a book so I’m wondering exactly what that means
Hi, thanks for the comment. It is (or was) also published as a book in 2013. The one I have has two CDs and a DVD, as well as the play, which comes out to over 100 pages in the book. Obviously, it’s a musical, so a lot of it is that, but there is also quite a bit of dialogue and of course stage direction . It’s available on Amazon (and other places), but it does look like ts out of print.
Damn. I only have the cd with music and some spoken sections. I have no doubts it doesnt read well. It was really good to see on stage though the music, band were great, story is so-so, nothing original. Maybe i like it more because ive played in bands and acted in plays
I've read 18 King's novels and 2 collections of his short stories. I don't know how to describe myself? Whether I am a complete fan of his novels or not yet. However, of the 18 novels I have read, "The Stand" is the worst on my list. This is not only the worst King's novel I have read so far, but generally one of the worst and most overrated novels I have ever read. I could divide "The Stand" into three parts: - the first really incredibly good 400 pages. People are dying, panic is increasing - it's great. - then 600 pages of multiplying threads, plus a bit of boring subplots - and the ending, which was undoubtedly written quickly just to end it somehow (no matter how) - which, after getting through 1000 pages of this book was a slap in the face for me as a reader. This story makes no sense at all and leads to nowhere. For me, "The Sand" is just a waste of time. However, this does not change the fact that King, next to Dan Simmons or Robert McCammon, is one of my favorite writers. I just don't have any admiration to this one specific novel. Maybe if I hadn't heard so much praise about this novel before I read it and my expectations wouldn't have been so high... Maybe. Edit: My fav King's novels so far are: Misery, Salem's Lot, Pet Semetary, Needful Things, It, Bag of bones... The order doesn't matter. Everything else is quite OK, Tommyknockers - as an ida for the stroy is good, but I had a lot of issues to finish this one. I put it aside and had a hard time coming back to it to finish it. The same as The Stand :)
Also you may want to add a spoiler warning for the Stand. The fact you mention that Glen and Frannie make a decision at the end of the book may spoil the part "and they never heard from Glen again".

While talking about a book, it helps when the rank and name of that specific book is displayed over the video...a timeline seeker is most welcome
Great ranking! Love it. Revival is my favorite King book! So good from start to finish.
very satisfied with your ranking
great work
Great review,thank you
Thanks for the ranking
Can’t wait to dive into the Dark Tower series in particular! It and Misery are also two I need to read yesterday

Love your shirt!
I agree with you that the ending of the Tower series was just what was needed. I liked it.

i did not enjoy the writing style at all. and the villain was good, until the final showdown was less than half a page. so anticlimactic.
My number one is The Long Walk. I was happy to see it so high 😊
I dunno, as for opening lines… I stopped reading King in 95 at age 16… and some of those lines just randomly stick forever (e.g. injun bring my fish); for me it’s “Jack Torrance thought: “Officious little prick.” 😂
Is Revival only the tenth? I'm reading it and i think it great!
Great video. I HATE the ending of The Long Walk so much!! Such a great book otherwise but the ending knocks it way down for me.
Maybe I missed them but did you mention the Talisman or black house?
27:59 - Black House
42:02 - The Talisman
Thanks!

I loved pet seminary. Great atmosphere. Freaky in the woods

It wouldn’t spoil it as blatantly as you typing out that line in the comments section 😂
Strongly agree with you regarding The Breathing Method! Thank you for the video!
Where did you put Running Man?
#42, at 8:46
Characters can be good and bad, that’s what makes a story. Pet Semetary is great, especially the ending
Did you mention Cell?
In the previous video, he did. It's ranked lower than 50th.
Just a tip...keep the number up of the book whilst you talk about it
Agreed Pet Cemetary way overated as was It.
