SOME OF THE BOOKS MENTIONED IN THIS VIDEO ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR SOME AUDIENCES. - Розваги
IT was the first Stephen King book I ever read and pulled me back into being a heavy reader after not picking up a book (for entertainment) in a while. The character work is out of this world and right after I finished I immediately started to binge his other works. Hands down my favorite King novel.
That’s what happened to me 😁
I hear you on that. My all time favorite from him as well and it's not even close. SUCH a good book, blows me away
@@otherworldsthanthese they are saying around that maybe you are that "Adam Medvidović" that wrote that "Night in Zagreb" that is raising a lot of dust - its like novel that is actually revealing whats gonna happen. It is known that "Adam Medvidović" is a pen name, but actuall writer is unknown. Wanted to ask you is it true? You are a genius for writing that and a man with the balls. If it is you.
Exact same here bro
But but but…that one scene! Gimme a break. Best book he’s ever written.
I am so impressed that you read all SK novels. The book Rage was written at a very different time. There were no school shootings that I know of in the 70’s and it was a powerful book for it’s time. Sadly, we are in a different world. My favorites are Per Semetary, Salem’s Lot and the Shining and the Long Walk…. My least favorite was Cell. I just finished Later and really enjoyed it.
peter mcvries was awsome
What a fabulous job you've done! As you said in your introduction, 100 King fans would undoubtedly come up with 100 different lists. But yours is well thought out. Having said that, of course my list is different. I think my top ten (no particular order) would include The Stand, Salem's Lot, Bag of Bones, It, The Shining, Pet Sematary, Needful Things, Desperation, Firestarter, and 11/22/63.
First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!! It’s absolutely fascinating that you read all of Stephen Kings novels in just three years, especially some of his novels are insanely long!! I love this list and it makes me want to continue reading Kings books!! My favorite so fat are definitely It, green mile and I really loved Liseys story, but I’m currently reading Salems lot and I love it so far!
Very good list! Makes me excited for all the upcoming good reads I have! I've only read about 10 so far - but Duma Key has been my favorite! Excited to read Firestarter and The Dark Half! Thanks again for the excellent review and list! 📚
Currently trying to binge his books. I never knew how many books he wrote. This video will help me alot ....thanks!
Oh man, I've been waiting for this!
You’ll agree with some of my rankings, and HATE some of them 😂
You got some really cool editions of the books. The covers look amazing!
Love the content! Found ya a few weeks ago. Love the collection too! Currently binging all the titles and collecting. Thanks for your work!
Thanks for your rating. I have not read as many books by him as you but after watching this one I will coz you got me interested in his works.
Great long awaited comprehensive list Harry! I rank The Stand higher on my list & Desperation & Insomnia lower. I also love The Dark Half, 11/22/63, Firestarter & Misery
I appreciate the work you put in to make this video!!🙏🙏🙏 I LOVE ranking lists!👌 Stephen King is my fav but I didnt know what else was worth picking up as i have to be selective on my reads.
Omg I loved this video so much! Really makes me want to get back to reading King!
My least favorites were Doctor Sleep and The Long Walk but I see how people love them and meanwhile I’m basic by saying The Stand and Salem’s Lot and Misery are my tops 😅
Love you so much, Harry❤️
Sooooo happy you ranked Insomnia high enough. It will always be my favorite book for so many reasons. And it hurts when I read Mr. King saying that the book didn't work for him. A masterpiece.
I just got through with reading Revival for the second time and in my opinion, it's one of the best examples of his newest balls to the wall horror, and The Dead Zone was the first Stephen King book I ever read and it holds a special place in my heart.
I liked how batshit crazy the ending of Revival was, but I just thought the main chunk of it was a bit dull :/
Finished reading Revival about a week ago and can’t get that ending out of my head. So creepy and dark and somewhat sad. Especially what happened to Astrid and all of the other “cured” patients.
You did not disappoint with this video, Harry! I love me a Stephen King video! My favorite King book is “It”, but I don’t think I have a least favorite one . . . yet.
How many have you read?
@@otherworldsthanthese
Novels: 18
Collections: 2
Non-Fiction: 1-ish (not sure if I finished the book I had been reading; it was way back in middle school.)
Also, love the new profile picture 👍🏽!
I saw Dreamcatcher and Firestarter coming, everything in between was a surprise
Thanks for ranking the Dark Half so high !!!
As for me : IT is my number 1 King book, I haven't read everything but Sleeping Beauties is my least favorite one for now.
Thanks for the video~
Your ranking of Wizard and Glass is the only thing I have trouble comprehending. It had arguably the best (well, tragic, really) ending of any of his novels and read like a sweet fantasy fairy tale. Loved it so much.
Thank you very much. Good content 💯
Well spoken kiddo. I read the Shining when it came out because the silver cover was so cool. I was in 6th grade, and hooked! Recently I picked up Duma Key at an airport and I it’s a true hidden gem, with its enchanting beachy gothic tone. Thrilled to see it high on your list.
14:50 - Long Walk is indeed the first novel that Stephen King ever finished writing, which was in 1967 when he was a freshman in college. He actually started Rage earlier than that when he was a senior in high school but didn't finish writing it until 1971 when he found the partial manuscript it in a box in the cellar of his parents house.
I love love LOVE Misery! My favorite King book so far (I’ve only read The Shining, The Outsider, The Stand, and Misery). This book LITERALLY had me reading on the edge of my seat.
Me too!
great video mate...thanks for sharing ...really enjoyed
I'm new to your channel and posted on your Firestarter video before posting a comment here (even though I watched this first). First of all, I wrote a paper for my bachelor's degree about the Firestarter novel. I agree that this book is full of themes and reference that could rival Shakespeare or Dickens. Such a well written cast of characters, plot, and pacing. My favorite line of yours though is when you said The Regulators was as all over the place as your sexuality. I had to go back several times to hear it again - Brilliant!
I was hoping you would do this! Hooray! :-)
I would love to hear your ranking of your favorite novellas and short stories. He really shines there imo
Really enjoyed this video. I'm so impressed by anyone who's managed to read all of his books - I've been trying to do it for years but am such a slow reader. I guess I'll always have something new to turn to.
My top 5 would probably be Misery, The Running Man, The Dead Zone, The Shining, and (I know it's not a novel but) Apt Pupil. Really hard to choose though.
Surprised to see The Running Man in your top 5! Why is that? :)
@@otherworldsthanthese I think it took me by surprise when I read it. It was the first time I'd read one of his books where I could see the larger themes and issues that he was making a comment about: poverty & social class being the main one, and then the idea of the poor selling themselves for entertainment (reality TV) in order to survive and support their families. It's so close to what we see people do nowadays on reality shows and social media.
I think I was still quite new to King when I read it so I hadn't expected that kind of social commentary from his work (especially a Bachman book). I know it's not everyone's favourite though 😊
I just finished my first King book, IT, and I loved it, and now I'm struggling to decide which one of his to read next... thank you for making this video, its very helpful! :)
the stand!
It's amazing that your able to read and digest that much material that quickly. That said, I feel bad you read Regulators before Desperation. It still wasn't fantastic (either, really) but it had some crossover themes. I could go on about my own favorites. I Love the Dark Tower series and its threads through most his work. Shining and Dr. Sleep my favorite 2 all and all
Wow nice collection of Steven King books you have. BTW: One of the first books I recently read was Later, what a great read.
Excellent video. I agreed with way more of it than I thought I would. I really need to read Firestarter now.
Absolutely Love the list 👍🥇
I remember the video that You’ve posted when You finished the Dark Tower 😊 Like it was yesterday.
The Institute was a good read. Was very interested in the story.
Also Outsider, Looking forward to get to ‘If it bleeds’.
You reminded me about Misery. It is such a good story, couldn’t put it down. I could feel it with every inch of my body. It’s very well written.
I Love IT and Under the Dome, one of my favourites.
Enjoyed the video a lot! 👍🏆
You’re Fantastic, Harry! Thanks for the video! 🙏
Thanks for the video!
I too appreciate 11/22/63 and Duma Key. I am don't know why they are not talked about much. I loved hearing your opinions on all of these books.
I love how subjective King’s work is! Some of my favorites were really low and some of the ones I hated were really high. Good video and I applaud the dedication of ready every book the man has written!
Great video. I would say my 2 favorite are Needful Things and The Talisman. I reread those quite a bit. My underrated one is The Dark Half and my overrated one is 11/22/63. I've only read it once but I found it predictable, didn't care for the characters, and patronizing. Your The Stand is my 11/22/63. I really liked your list and video. Keep up the good work! I've only got 4 King novels left.
Hope somedeay can read all of the king books, started this year.
Good luck from Portugal, keep with your work mate
Great video, great collection.. i love it!! Keep making awesome content :))
Loved this video, so interesting to hear how different everyone's book tastes are!
Personally, my favourite is Pet Sematary, it's actually my all-time favourite book. My least favourite are Thinner and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (found them both so boring, I can't choose 😬)
Niceeee!!! Great video like always! I wish I could say that Ive been here since day one but I think Ive been here for a while ahahaha 🤙🏽and wow 🤩 that firestarter edition!!!!! WOW! I’m speechless 😶
Fire starter and the stand will always be my top favorites ❤️ my mom has been a Stephen king fan since the 80s and both really love reading so the stand and fire starter were the first books she ever let me borrow of hers. Not only are really good books but I have a lot of good memories of bonding with my mom over them.
Great video, Harry!
Man, thumbs up for being so young and reading every friggin single one of Stephen King's books.
Great list! Agree with Duma Key being horribly underrated - you should check out the audio book, the reader is ming blowing! Firestarter is also a book that needs more praise. Feels like Stranger Things borrowed lots of ideas from that one.
I really really enjoyed this video
Fantastic countdown list dude! We share a lot of the same opinions! I had dreamcatcher and cell in my bottom also, and wow, Duma Key - WHY DOESNT THIS GET MORE RECOGNITION?!
Congratulations! For reading all his books. You‘re amazing!
very informative, appreciate it :)
Also thank you for the suggestion of reading Desperation before The Regulators. I've tried reading Regulators and it is very intriguing, but I just can't seem to follow along.
I've only Carrie, 'Salem's Lot and The Shining so far, and I'm currently on IT.
I'd say my favourite is The Shining. The world-building of the Overlook is great, the horror elements are extremely discomforting, and the character work is unforgettable.
I'd even go so far as to say it's the best book I've ever read, besides 1984. That's gonna be a controversial opinion😬
Seriously tho, why don't people talk about that book enough? It's just perfect!!!! Can't wait to experience the rest of King's bibliography.
I’m always hesitant to refer to any fiction as perfect, but I think a lot of King’s bibliography is close to it 😁
@@otherworldsthanthese The film adaptation of The Shining is also one of my favourites, but I honestly don't think it does the book justice.
Favorite Stephen King book? Either Dolores Claiborne, Later or elevation.
Least favorite? Revival or the Colorado Kid.
Love the video
Thanks Harry!!!❤
Really looking forward to the release of Gwendy’s Final Task on the 15th of February!! Currently reading Chizmar’s novel, Gwendy’s Magic Feather. It’s pretty good!!
Good video, really enjoyed it. I’ve only read about 30 books (so far) - my favorite is The Stand and least favorite (unpopular opinion) is The Shining.
thank you for this video
I havn't seen anyone besides you to agree, but I absolutely love The Dark Half! It's my favorite Stephen King book, and one of the few books Ive read that I geniunely and literally could not put down!
Enjoyed your video very much and it gave me some good ideas for my next reads! However, with all due respect, I am trying to finish Insomnia at the moment, and it’s difficult because it is dreadful. Lol. Painfully slow. And there is a 200-300 page section in the middle with nothing but exposition and instructions for moving forward (“above” the hospital with Ralph, Lois and the two little men). It was like time stood still for 300 pages. 🤯Crazy. Hopefully it will finish strong. Again, loved your video. New follower here.
Constant Reader here! love your video!! and it makes me so happy to see young people still loving the King! I have so many favorites its hard for me to choose. I am a Huge Dark Tower fan. but i didnt care for the movie. it was ok.. but... blah. anyway. thanks young man for the cool video and talking about your love of books.
Where do you get your books from? I ordered that version of Firestarter from waterstones but they sent me the old cover with the Girl on it and when I called they said they can't specify covers lol even though the 2 others I brought had the same new cover as your Firestarter
I get them from anywhere I can. It’s more reliable in an actual bookshop though
Thanks for inoculating me from feeling like I need to watch more of these videos (every SK rankings I mean, though I guess also your channel)!
I've been a fan of Stephen King since I was a kid, but up until this year I'd only read Pet Sematary and The Shining. I'm slowly working my way through King's novels as I collect the Rainbow Hodder prints and up to this point I've read 8 books by him (not including the short story collections) so right now my ranking looks like this;
1. Pet Sematary
2. The Shining
3. Misery
4. Cujo
5. The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
6. Cell
7. Carrie
8. Doctor Sleep
Have you read King's most recent novel yet? I'd be really interested to see where you rank Fairy Tale in your list!
Its funny how every King's book, hits its readers differently. For example, dreamcatcher,was the first book of him that i read, and even tho ive read most of his books by now, dreamcatcher is still in my top 5,i love it.
Yea I really liked dreamcatcher.
I read Misery and was AMAZED. I am obsessed. I watched The Shining and Silver Bullet to get quick fixes, but I am reading The Shining right now. I plan on reading Doctor Sleep next because of the connection between the two. What order would you suggest I read the novels? These three being in Colorado makes me wonder if I should tackle them by region. However, I am really excited for Gerald’s Game and Dolores Claiborne. For the connection between the two, which should I start with?
Hey,I live in India,
And I m a huge fan of Stephen King Books.
The way he describes his thoughts to people is just unimaginable.
Read The Shining and now I've ordered his most anticipated book -IT.
THanks for all the rating though
Excellent video! Short, sweet, funny and to the point. Great reviews, love to see how everyone has different opinions. Nice to see some that I haven’t read yet so high up on the list, I look forward to them. Do you have any reviews on Joe Hills books?
Also, BEAUTIFUL collection!
Hey there! I subscribe to you and love your reviews. Also you are adorable and very insightful. I really appreciate your thoughts and reviews though I don't always agree with all. LOL I am 62, a young 62, so I was in my teens when King started with Carrie. I read a lot back then but stopped for some reason. Now I am buying all Stephen King books again. First I read Salem's Lot, one of my all time favorites. After all these years I still remembered the scenes that creeped me out the most. Then I read Billy Summers and agree it was a WOW book showing how great he still is. Then I read Mr. Mercedes and found it a bit slow at first but then the last 2/3 were amazing. I am trying to read all the books with Holly in them before reading Holly. I have 15 more I have bought. Some I will be rereading and there are newer ones I have not read yet like The Institute. I got Christine and Needful Things. Loved them back in the day and can't wait to reread them. The only thing I really disagree on is Dreamcatcher. That is one of my fave King books. Sorry for the length but would you like me to share my thoughts as I read each book and we can compare our thoughts. I already have 5 more in my Amazon cart including Pet Cemetery and The Dark Half and your fave Dreamcatcher LOL I look forward to reading more Later King like Duma Key, Bag of Bones and Lisey's Story. Hope all is well and hope to hear from you. Barry
This will be a long comment, heads up lol I was with you up until Roadwork lol but I COMPLETELY understand. Also, I love Revival, but I get it. Completely agree with you on Wolves of the Calla. I hated Elevation lol Wizard and Glass is so hit or miss for DT fans, I loved it. Song of Susannah is criminally underrated. Cujo has a surprisingly bad rating on GR lol. Oh lord, Tommyknockers, everyone gets one mulligan bad opinion 😂 Finders Keepers is definitely the best Bill Hodges book. You were a lot more lenient with The Stand than I was haha, I put it much lower. Love to see The Dead Zone in your top 20! WHOAAA Dark Tower 7 so low?!?! Your tastes did change! And yes, you beat me to the punch, dark tower book at 19, chef's kiss. Also, glad to see DT 2 and 3 so high. DUMA KEY is incredible! I do love how diverse your top 10 is, even though a lot of them I think are slightly overrated. Love to see the Dark Half so high up! very underrated! Misery is also my second favorite king book. And of course, Firestarter lol Great video as always, Harry! Very well done.
We have so many mirroring opinions, and so many vastly different ones!
Great video Harry!
I'm so glad you put the Dark Half so high! Its' in my top 3 books! It is so under rated. I was genuinely spooked when I read it.
Also, I'm glad when I saw you put Dreamcatcher as your least favourite book as it's not just me then! I tried to read it twice and both times only got halfway through it. I will get around to it eventually! But I have way too many of his bibliography to read first. Firestarter is next on my list.
Keep up the good work Harry. :)
Shane Corbett...did you realize the thing over his left shoulder?
It's great to see The Institute in the top 10. I loved that book! A lot of people thought it was just 'okay' and I definitely had some small issues with it, but still a great book!
Oof, Dreamcatcher was the first King book I ever read so it holds a special place in my heart for that reason, even though objectively it's not the best. But it made me fall in love with his writing style and his characters.
My favorite King book is either Misery or The Dead Zone - can never really decide between those two - and my least favorite is The Gunslinger.
I desperately need to reread The Dead Zone, because I remember loving it so much but it was such a long time ago!
I'm glad you mentioned "that scene" in the book IT, and I agree completely with everything you said. I was thoroughly enjoying the book, then reached that scene, and found it so disturbing, it ruined the rest of the story for me. It should never be there, and the fact it is removed from every movie adaptation speaks volumes. Many reviewers praise this book and never mention that scene, which I also find disturbing. Great review and great video.
What happens in that scene?
@@Major42all the main kid characters have an orgy like literally the girl in the gang has sex with all the boys in the group.
It’s strange because when you read it you just brush it off but afterwards you say to yourself wtf did I just read and how is that not been banned and how is king not been Called a pedo for it because it is actually so bad.
But at the same time I think the reason behind it was that the kids knew they were all possibly going to die and wanted to experience what sex was all about but it’s just fucking weird
Oh my god. Pet sematary. You can never be wrong. First SK book I've read and first ever book I FINISHED. I hate reading and for some reason I felt I'm always out of focus so I tried reading. I went straight to Pet sematary (recommended by an old friend) and oh my god, I can't put it down. I love horror and never get scared easily but this one gave me nightmares and I got scared to climb off my bed because I'm afraid that Z**** would pull my feet from under the bed lol. Now I have 30 books, 21 of them are SK. Because of Pet sematary I'm now a reader. There could be other better SK books out there but Pet sematary will always have a special place in my heart
Top 5 best King books for me,
1. The Stand
2. It
3. 11.22.63
4. Needful Things
5. Salem's Lot
My three worst
1. Lisey's Story
2. Gerald's Game
3. Cell
Great list! I've watched this video twice. The very first King novel I ever read, and one of my all-time favorites, is The Dark Half. Absolutely LOVED it! My least favorite thus far is Lisey's Story.
Great video, great presentation, good insights and entertaining. For me however it's 1 The Green Mile. 2 The Shining. 3 Christine. 4 Salem's Lot and 5 Pet Cemetery. I read the Green Mile in three or four mammoth sittings about ten years ago, literally didn't want to put it down. The film was great too. Well done keep up the good work!
I was never a reader and just decided to look at Mr. Mercedes in the fiction aisle at my local barnes...little did I know it would turn me into a reader and now I'm about 20 books in by Stephen King. Love how he brings characters to life
Superb as usual! Two comments come to mind.
1. I like following tier lists and rankings about SK. Yours is the only to rank Firestarter as best and it doesn't usually come in the first positions (though not the last either). I haven't read it yet though (now reading my 21st SK, Thinner, after the meh monster Nightmares and Dreamscapes ).
2. I am not a native English speaker (¡español!) and I don't get why you call a love-or-hate book a marmite. Is that a UK thing??
Thanks, my fav SK reviewer!
Marmite is a brand of spread that we put on bread, and people tend to either love it or hate it :)
Where do you buy your Stephen King books? They look so great on the shelf! Especially the rainbow colored ones
Some of those book covers are so good! I’m getting a feeling that I won’t be able to get many of them in the US? Lol especially that shelf of color with matching spines! I’m so intrigued to what books those are and where to get them!
I have some of the same collection. I bought them on Amazon (UK).
He also has “Halloween” edition covers to collect. Hope this helps.
I'm currently so undecisive about what to read from him next. I've really enjoyed Misery, Dolores Claiborne and the Shining. But I really want to read some of his really horror intense books for this fall, that are not too long. Besides Pet Cemetery (it's on my tbr) can you please reccomend me one so I can get back into King's books. There are so many I get overwhelmed :D Thank you
Geralds Game is really intense, and I think you’d love it if you like Dolores Claiborne and Misery 😁
I will say one of the marks of a great book which is longer is you don't realize how long it is. The first time I read The Stand was the abridged version which was still 800+ pages long. The second time was the unabridged version and I was probably even more captivated by it. It probably helped the first time reading The Stand I was in the 8th grade and the second time was just a few years ago). But The Stand is my favorite of King's (and in general, one of my favorite fiction books). You did get me to change my mind on IT though, I can't in good conscious have it quite as high as I did because of THAT scene (come on King, really?).
What scene? I’ve not read IT yet. Currently reading kings other work. I have only watched the movies.
I like these kinds of videos. Always gives new perspectives on things.
Before I watch though: Are there spoilers?
I peeked at the "last" few at the start of the video, and it seems like you've kept it spoiler-free!
Great!! 😄
Yep, no spoilers 😁
I've only read 10 or so by him so far, but my favorite is The Stand (IT is such a close second) and my least favorite is The Running Man. Obviously I don't agree with everything on your list, but I appreciated your perspective! Keep it up 👍
Great video!!! Got an idea of what to read next --> MISERY…. Opinions are interesting. A guy in another video had Misery ranked at 59 LOL
I completely agree with your take on End of Watch for the same reasons. Mr. Mercedes I really enjoyed.
I recently finished Dreamcatcher and loved almost every bit of it, but I guess I can see where you're coming from. I still think it's really underrated, but the movie adaptation, good god... my thoughts on the movie are basically your thoughts on the book. It's so unbelievably terrible that I can't even describe it.
Excellent video!
Well argued and great fun. Agree on a lot of things (The order of the Bill Hodges books for an example, also the high rating for The Dark Half and the love for The Long Walk), wildly disagree on others (Firestarter as the masterpiece!?)
My favourite three (just can't pick one):
It
The Stand
11.22.63
My least favourite (that I remember well):
The Regulators
Gerald's Game
Dreamcatcher
Just subscribed. Loved your rankings. I have only read It, but I am curious to read: Pet Semetary, The Shining , Misery, Fire Starter, and Carrie.
great job you're doing
Of those I’ve read:
1) 11/22/63
2) IT - would be #1 if the ending 100 pages were better
3) The Shining
4) Misery
5) The Stand
6) The Dead Zone - last of his I read that I thought was great in this list.
7) Mr Mercedes - it was decent
8) Revival - was ok but didn’t like the ending
I love all the standard classics….Shining, It, Pet Semetary, Stand, Salem’s…plus the newer 11/22/63, Institute, Outsider. But it’s the hidden gems that I really appreciate…Desperation, Needful Things, Tommyknockers…. I’m still only about 2/3 of the way through his body of work. Have you read them all? Haven’t really read a clunker yet
I don't know if anyone have said it already, but I love the crow/raven display at the bookshelf. Reminds me of Kafka on the Shore.
The Crow is such an interesting character, I’d love to hear your opinion of what it represents :)
@@otherworldsthanthese I personally think that the boy named Crow was Kafka's alter ego. There was a part in the book that says that he named himself Kafka because it translates to "crow" in another language (I can't really remember coz my memory is jumbled while reading this book 😭). Crows are associated with intelligence, braveness, and higher perspective (we can relate this to the part where the Crow repeatledly said to Kafka that he should be strong and the part where Kafka searches for the boy named Crow to answer a question). Aside from that, crows are also a totem of death which we can interpret that Kafka's past self had died when he decided to run away from home and take this new identity. I'm sorry I'm terrible at explaining things but I hope you get my point. 😂 I'd love to know your thoughts about the boy named Crow too because I think it was an interesting character to study and analyse.
great video, wondering where you buy your books from? all the covers are incredible
Online websites and local bookshops, mostly :)
Nothing beats Misery.
Finally someone who gives praise for The Dark Half, my favorite novel from him. George Stark is such a great antagonist !!!
I read and finished tbe institute last week and now I'm reading firestarter.. there both very similar but theres 39 years apart between them. Also, firestarter is being released on movie in the uk sometime in may 2022
Good list
I’ve added The Dark Half, Desperation, and The Talisman to my “haven’t read SK books”
My opinion: Give “It” a break; a pothole at the end of a great trip shouldn’t spoil your experience.
(Rose Madder spoilers-ish)
I'm so glad that you made that comment about Rose Madder! I had such high hopes for the book and loved it to begin with. If it had remained the way it was, and even remotely realistic, I'd have been gripped. The supernatural elements just totally ruined it for me. Would have been much more interested to see them attempt to deal with the situation in a realistic way. Having it become supernatural seemed like a lazy solution imo
Well done, Harry! You’re one of youtube’s foremost Stephen King experts! Now that you have read all his books, what will your channel’s ‘thing’ be now? I know you as “the Stephen King guy” 😆
I won’t stop making King content 😁
@@otherworldsthanthese Never do.
"This book is even more all over the place than my sexuality" I love you
I’m a new King reader and have only read Needful Things and From a Buick 8. I have ordered a few more. Excited to read the Shining for sure. And Desperation.
So far I’ve read 4!! My first was desperation, Then the Shining, then I read the long walk now I’m reading pet semetary! My favorite so far has been The Shining! Oh my god! Great book!! Haven’t finished pet semetary yet to rank the rest but the shining is definitely my favorite so far..and by the looks of it pet semetary will be number 2..I’m halfway done with it..great list
