I'm a huge fan as well.
One of the best opening lines ever written: "The man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed."
Long live The King!
And ending
The best intro to a story ever. I remember reading that line and was hooked immediately
That opening is forever embedded in my mind, along with “In the beginning”.
Pet Sematary is by FAR the best. I've never read anything so terrifying or realistic in the manner in which the book deals with death and grief.
It is definitely the most depressing, my own grandmother suffered from paralysis and slowly wasted away so I could really relate to the description of the wife's sister
Greg Alman that was a sad book
I don't know about by far but it's certainly one of my personal favourites too
There's a movie now
Dude, it is amazing, and traumatizing but it is not his best book by FAR. I mean, the stand, it, the shining, dark tower series...
Quite enjoying "'Salem's Lot" at the moment.
IMO, it's the best book he's written.
Matt Stefan I've just started reading thatA
Matt Stefan just finished it, it was fantastic
That was my first SK book. Just finished IT. Liked that as well, but Salem's Lot is at another level for me. I should give it another read and see if I still feel this way.
I LOVE that book
1. IT
2. The Talisman
3. The Long Walk
4. Misery
5. Desperation
Pet sematery needs to be on the list
okay um no the dark tower series? and IT is King’s number one novel? no fucking way.
Disagree with almost the entire list, except for the long walk. That was always my favorite forever growing up. Read that thing like five times. Rare--well, old Stephen King used to do sci-fi short storys--foray into science fiction genre for Stephen King. Although, I guess technically, all of his stories kind of contain an element of Science Fiction (or supernatural,which is basically the same thing). Speaking of, The Jaunt short story of his is another one of my favorites, also scifi... Hell I don't know what I was talking about with the Syfy comment earlier, cuz what I might consider my favorite book of his nowadays would be 11/22/63, a time travel story, aka the most genre specific quintessential science-fiction subgenre of all time. Pet Sematary might be what I would consider his most literary, not just for pure entertainment purposes, book. Lot of thematic elements about life and rebirth that are executed very well by King in that book. Dark Tower - - I've read the seven books of what would be considered the original "septilogy" a combined total of 18 times. Only thing that I would like to say about those books is that every single one of them is better than the one that was written previously. So, the first one's the worst one, The Drawing of the Three is the second not goodest, and the best one's the last one. It's crazy how that worked out, but it is so true if you read them. Green Mile, The Langoliers, Apt Pupil, Hearts in Atlantis. Couple of deep cuts there. The eyes of the Dragon was probably my favorite for a long time in grade school. I read that I don't even know how many times. It's really great fantasy, and that's coming from a guy who's not really that big on fantasy. The Stand is his most overrated work in my opinion. I read it twice, once as a fairly wee youngling and then once more recently and its still not that captivating to me. I like Dolores Claiborne infinitely more than The Stand.
Where is the Shining and the Stand.
Stop complaining its called an opinion
The Stand. That is all.
YES. Timeless and epic. Even the Alarm song is great.
What was the name of the song the singer was supposed to have as a hit record? "Baby, Can you Dig your Man", or some craziness! That book was awesome. Mother Abigail..enough said!
You might enjoy seeing Russel Flagg, "the Walking Dude" plow his way through the Dark Tower series too.
Roy Winkler Randall Flagg 😉. And I'm already a huge fan of TDT series!
bought to read but the number of pages discouraged me since i got the unedited edition. Now I feel like trying again!
"The Stand" is definitely my favorite. I have read it at least 5 times over the years. Never gets old. "It" would be #2 for me. I guess I just like the long ones.
There is just something about Stephen King; he allows you to completely immerse yourself into that world. My favourite is definitely The Shining. Complete eye opener for alcoholism and family tragedy. I personally couldn't get in to The Firestarter. I don't know what it was but I just couldn't do it. I tried about six years ago now so maybe I will give it another go!
Firestarter is the only horror movie/ novel that gave me recurring nightmares for years. Paranoid shit about government conspiracies and CIA dudes stalking me and having nowhere to hide... My other recurring nightmares are usually about my teeth falling out, or not having done a term paper that's due, or car accidents... mundane shit... That something managed to tap into my psyche to that extent says VOLUMES.
I think it's bc he delves into inner thought so much. I've never seen other authors do it like him.
My top five in no particular order: "The Stand", "'Salem's Lot", The Shining", "Under The Dome", "Misery" Honorable Mention: "The Body", a novel length story from different seasons. Sidebar: My five favorite film adaptations "The Shawshank Redemption", "Stand By Me", "Misery" "'Salem's Lot" (A TV Movie), "The Dead Zone".
I can't wait to read The Stand this summer. It's going to be 1,440 pages of epicness.
My copy was only 1,143 pages
Cool
Prepare yourself for epic disappointment
I love that you put Firestarter on your top five. It was the third or fourth book I read, and it's long been one of my favorites, as well. Most people don't put it up so high on their list; I will never understand that!
Have only read 11.22.63 so far (I feel so far behind), but absolutely loved it. I'm a big history and politics nerd, so this was a perfect first King novel for me. I will be trying to read as many King books as I can get my hands on now! Not into electronic versions, so I will be scouring my local second-hand bookstore for anything King...
My favorite Stephen King book, so far, is 11/22/63. I read it in the beginning of this month and just loved the overall story. It did not feel like 800 pages when I was reading; there was nothing I found bad about this book. It was like this epic historical fiction/time-travel/thriller. The Shining and Misery are close. I need to read more. I've only read about 5 (gonna start my 5th,Dreamcatcher, next month). I'd love to see more of your top 5's :)
AveryAmsterdamReads I adored Dreamcatcher. You will enjoy! It has an excruciating scene in a toilet that still haunts me...
I guess I will look forward to that lol. Hey! You should go to the Top 5 Wednesday group on Goodreads; This past topic was Top 5 Books Over 500 Pages.
Read The Stand! I'm about to start 11/22/63 on audiobook but if you like epic, The Stand is DEFINITELY epic.
yes, it's really good. and there is still horror, although there is no monster
IT is one of my favorites. I like the flipping between the child and adult versions of the characters. I also like Pennywise. Makes me think of the monster/aliens/Gods of Call of Cthulhu
1. Dark Tower
2. The Shining
3. Duma Key
4. The Stand
5. Firestarter
Duma love. Nice. I cried three times reading that book. I think it is actually his best writing. But the ending is so goddamn horrible that it probably turned some people off, including me. I wouldn't put in even top twenty just based on the failure of the ending. Top 50, probably, yeah.
11/22/63 is my favorite!!
“when i read a book I become that book and that man.” i felt that
'The Eyes of the Dragon'? No one? But its amazing. Im shocked Salems Lot didnt make it also.
It is kind of a kid's book, in a way. It was my favorite book of his for several years (it was my endlessly rereadable fictional bible in grade school), probably until I read The Body and Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption and Apt Pupil in 6th grade. Those three novellas, released at the same time inside of one book, are genre-defying, mind blowing, and life-affirming, timeless tales(shout out to the winter story from Different Seasons also. The Breathing Method. It is really good too, but it's not on the masterpiece level that transcends the author and the society that produced it, like the other three.) Nothing wrong with books conceived to be read by a child audience either. The Phantom Tollbooth is still one of my all-time favorites. Green Eggs and Ham is velveteen peanut butter smooth, too.
Carrie was my first Stephen King novel followed by Salem's Lot. I started reading his books just three months ago and I'm looking forward to reading more of his works. I'm just 16.
John Dinfel Pasaol i'm 11
fucken bitch
The first i read, that i have recently finished it is the green mile, and i am just 14
Nobody cares what your age is.
I'm starting to read Stephen King and this is the absolute best video for us noobs, thank you.
Cool
The Mist was amazing
Desperation is a great one! I loved that book! I also loved Insomnia too, glad to see it get some love!
The first Stephen King book I read was The Stand. Yes, I started with his longest book, and I've read nothing but Stephen King since.
Same here! First Stephen King book I read was The Stand, recently finished 11/22/63 (which I highly recommend!) and just started The Gunslinger.
5. Rage
4. The Langoliers (I know it's really just a novella and not a single book, but I love it)

1. Misery
My top 5 Steve King books

Me: ........ ⊙.⊙
A quick list of my personal favorite Stephen King books: The Shining, It, Misery, Carrie, The Dark Tower Series, Pet Sematary, The Stand, Cujo and many more...!
I love Stephen king, his books are amazing my favorite is Misery 😍📚
Sure is and Misery is such a goodbook
same!! i love misery so much!
Misery is amazing
Reading the dark tower series for the first time. already read the first two books in one week, so good.
Want to read the stand next and maybe it, we'll see.
Talisman is my favorite book written by King (collaboration with Straub,)...hands down
From what I've read my favourites are probably
1)The Long Walk
2)Pet Semetary
3)The Stand
4)It
5)Misery
Honourable mention to The Dead Zone
However I think his short stories and novellas are arguably his best work
I'm so impressed you haven't cried since you were 20. I cry like twice a week - any emotional scene in a movie or book whether happy or sad will get me. I watched Tangled with my 3 year old niece the other day and SHE had to comfort ME.
Top 5 places/cities you've visited?
I've honestly ever read one book by King, and it's now in my top five favorite books. The Long Walk. It was fantastic and just...loved it.
A lot of people overlook that one and it's a shame as I think it's one of his very best
The sudden ending though?
I love the spine on your copy of LET THE RIGHT ONE IN. Never seen that version.
I gotta agree with Dark Tower, it was just so big and i loved the way it connected all of the little worlds King has made in each of his books.
agree with Insomnia, one of my favorite
Stephen King is my favorite author,and my biggest inspiration. I love seeing other people's perspective on his book's,Thank you for this!
This made me want to read again. I used to read a lot before English Literature A Level ruined it! Nice to watch a video where someone is really passionate about something xD
Gary C I didn't think anyone would care what books I read... Pick up a book Gary! :D
The Kindle 3 made me start reading again.
I totally relate! A level Literature broke me 😭
I just finished IT and loved it like mad! One book that's a lighter king read that I really enjoyed was the girl who loved tom Gordon. And bag of bones as well.
Now I haven't read all his books but from the ones I've read
1 the long walk
2 the running man
3 misery
4 cujo
5 the stand
My favorite Stephen King is The Long Walk which was written under his pseudonym Richard Bachman. It was a crazy book and I will never be able to walk the same way again. I have also read Salem's Lot which was fantastic too. I need more Stephen King in my life.
The Long Walk was so good. I don't know how it would work but I think it would make a great movie
1. The dark tower
2. The stand
3. Insomnia
4. The tailsman
5. Desperation
M-O-O-N that spells Moon
M-O-O-N that spells subscribed
Tom is one of my fav characters! ❤
Omg! He's one of my favorite characters ever!!!
C-I-T-Y-L-I-M-I-T-S that spells boulder
M O O N, that spell the Stand is the best novel.
I've watched this video so many times! I've started collecting his books last summer and have read them nonstop ever since. He's by far my favorite author. I love your list of favorite books by him, I actually just read Firestarter because you made it sound very interesting, and I absolutely loved it. The only other book you mention in this video that I've read is The Stand, which is the first book I read by Stephen King.
Quick fun story... I live an hour and a half away from Stephen King in Maine and I actually ran into him (literally) a few years ago at a thrift store in a town called Bridgton because I was really young and distracted by a toy I found. Also, he used to go to my mom's school every now and then because he was good friends with her english teacher, so that's part of the reason I wanted to read his books because we live so close to him and my family has met him.
Anyway, I'm currently finishing up 'Salem's Lot because I'm just picking random books that sound interesting to me, and I need some suggestions for what to read later this year. I'm not picky when it comes to Stephen King, I love his type of writing and out of all the books I've read so far (only about ten) I haven't had a single problem with any of them. You should make another Stephen King video in the future because I absolutely loved this video :)
I, too, am a diehard Stephen King fanatic! My first was "The Dead Zone", & from then on I've read nothing but Stephen King. He paints pictures with words! "The Stand" is my all-time favorite, with "Eye of The Dragon" running a close second. Third place is "11/22/63" (the day JFK died), fourth is "Under the Dome", and fifth is "Four After Midnight". I could go on and on, I've read so many....
His books are ALWAYS so much better than the movies, although "Carrie" & "Firestarter" were among the best movies I've ever seen.
Vegeta is a standing guard
So far I’ve read the shining (really good) and currently reading it
My top 5 King books are...
1. IT
2. The Long Walk
3. 11/22/63
4. Under the Dome
5. Pet Sematary
your really good at explaining these books without spoiling them, please do more favorites because you are way more interesting then the descriptions on the back of the books lol
The Dark Half was the first book I ever read by Stephen King (great book). The Talisman, so far is my favorite. I just started The Gunslinger. Oh, Bag of Bones, I liked that too.
awesome vid. great selection of favs. totally agree about the Tower. I'd have to add Green Mile somewhere in there (first book I read that wasn't assigned in school lol)
Almost with you on that. The Stand is my #1 King. it really trips me out how easily that could really happen. they do have secret labs like that here in the USA.
Cool. Desperation was my first one and got me hooked too.
The Green Mile was the first stephen king book i read, followed by the long walk, 11/22/63, and then Cell. Reading Atlas Shrugged now and about finished with it, then I plan on reading some more stephen king since it's been a while.
Havent read every single one yet, but Needful Things is my favorite so far. Incredible story!
I love everything that come from stephen but my favorite is the *Dark* tower series.
+Soull Vanns Neves It might just be my favorite thing ever.
+MSG685 a Pink Floyd and a Stephen King Fan?
Alessio Meier Yes, I am pretty awesome.
trha2222 well, it is a movie...
trha2222
That makes no sense..
Flag is also a major character in The Eyes of a Dragon. If you read Desperation then you must have read The Regulators. Richard Bachman came back from the dead to wright it.
I've been meaning to read some of Stephen King's books for ages, and this video has inspired me, Firestarter and Talisman definitely like my kind of books and i'm going to start them as soon as i can, thanks Brad :)
Rebecca W. Oh yes. Firestarter is such a wild ride and Talisman is a must. Don't forget it has a sequel!
I literally tried to buy Firestarter in a book shop earlier, but they didn't have it, TO THE INTERNET ! :)
That's a good choice. Should start off with those two. I kept an old copy of Firestarter and Talisman in my collection. Bought it 15 years ago :) Really hard to find those books nowadays in my country :(
i'm actually finding it really hard to find these books where i live, they're in none of the book shops i've looked in :(
Rebecca W. best place to find older king books is garage sales or goodwill stores. I have sooo many from these places. Also antique shops too.
Right on man. I'm going to start reading the dark tower series now. I didn't know it existed haha. I personally thought my favorite was 11/22/63.
I really like the Top 5 Series idea, go for it!
I want to read The Stand after this! I'm the same way with books, I get lost in the them as well. I love Cell and his short stories. I have enjoyed all of his books so far. ^_^ thanks for this, I know what books I want to read now. And a top 5 series would be awesome!
Yay! My gf and i are about to start reading The Talisman. She's never read Stephen King before. Glad it's in your top 5
NEEDFUL THINGS ANYONE?!!?
Needful things was fucking HILARIOUS. All those whacked-out small-town douchebags gonig at each other with meat cleavers and machetes... Almost as funny a commentary of American materialism as Fight Club...
I agree with you that it was funny. I HATE the ending, how Alan fights off Mr. Gaunt with magic. It was entertaining though.
Best part is Busters and Ace's coked up-dynamite-rampage
YES! RIGHT HERE MAN!
Heck yeah, man. I hoped that they had added more of that in the movie.
Read a lot of Stephen King books, haven't read any of these except the Dark Tower Series. Thats the beauty of his work... theres so much it'll take a lifetime to read them all. My personal favorite has to be Wizard and Glass.
Great video! I read most of these books years ago but thinking of revisiting them! Interesting you talking about a old 70 year old man in one story. Yes, that used to sound really old to me. But 70 does not sound so old, now that I’m 62.
1. Christine
2. Misery
3. The Green Mile
I haven't read The Stand yet.
1) The Stand
2) The Drawing of the Three
3) 11/22/63
4) IT
5) Salem's Lot
Honorable Mention: The Regulators (cause it's severely underrated)
I was 14 when I read my first Stephen King book, it was Under The Dome, and it was amazing, I finished in 2 weeks, cause for me that was a very short time, and now I'm 18 and I read 15 books by him so far, and he's by far my favorite author.
Bag of Bones is one of his best books he has ever written, and definitely my fave atm.
+Darnell Major Think so? I don't have much patience with boring books. this one was really interesting to me... I think(spoilers) it was pretty slow when he got to the house and met kyra and all that. But it was a surprise ending for me. I thought firestarter was the most boring.
+Darnell Major I got u. :) what is your favorite sk book?
***** Mmm. I need to read The Shining and It, but I didn't care for the Stand. It was too hyped for me. It was hard to even get through the original edition(815 pages or so), but I've been told by die-hards that I have to read the 1990s edition to truly appreciate it.
Darnell Major turtle! Better to deal with turtle then something else! Muuuuaahhh haha. People that have read IT will understand.
The Shining...my personal favorite. scared me, and moved me nearly to tears with the destruction of the father. so much better than the Nicholson movie and still better than the mini-series...
But, but.... Stanley Kubrick! That movie was a million times better than the book. End of question.
I have to disagree! I really enjoyed what Kubrick did with it, and for the time, the changes were probably pretty smart, but the novel to me just had so much more depth and the transition of Jack Torrence was SOOOO much more interesting in the book. Watching a deeply flawed man who has a wake-up call and tries desperately to do the right thing and become a good man, but ultimately fails. It was just beautiful to me.
Yeah no I love Kubrick's Shining but to say it's better than the book that is pushing it. It's really close but the book is better for one reason and one reason only say it with me now... character development. The reason why I hold the film in such high esteem is because although Kubrick used a lot of artistic license their were scenes lifted straight from the book word for word and of course Nicholson was amazing.
Insomnia! One of my favourites of all times!
My top 5: The Talisman, the stand, pet cemetery, the long walk and Duma Key. Honorable mention Liseys story. Not conventional picks but they satisfied and surprised me the most. Keep in mind I've only read 40+ of his books I got more to go
1. IT
2. The Stand
3. The Shining
4. Pet semetary
5. Needful things
Slowly working my way through every Stephen king book ever 😁
I really like Stephen King, but I've so far only read Skeleton Crew (short stories), It and Misery. All of the books you talked about sound really interesting! I'm gonna have a look in my dad's bookshelf and see if I can find them!
The top 5 for me:
1. The stand
2. It
3. 11/22/63
4. The shining
5. Dr. Sleep
I love Stephen King! I haven't read a lot yet so I don't know which one is my favorite? I've read Pet Sematary, Revival, Doctor Sleep, and I'm starting The Talisman and Salems' Lot.
If you've read Doctor Sleep, let The Shining be your next one. It's way scarier
"The man in Black flew across the desert, and the gunslinger followed" . The best beginning sentence of all time!!!!
The book I'm currently reading is Lucifer by Danny Katz, it's a thriller novel in swedish so you'll probably be unable to read it, but it's pretty good so far. I like it.
Favorite SK, The Shinning. Read it twice, very rare for me. The Stand, the new and improved? Did you read the original or the one with the expanded characters? I read the introduction. SK said he did not change the ending...he did.
Too few have skipped over The Talisman. Absolutely one fo the best books I've ever read. It has HUGE movie potential but I fear it's been overlooked a lot.
You look like karl from workaholics with his life together
You should definitely do a top 5 TV series (and I really hope 24 is up there somewhere!)
Jade Steer Somehow I think you're going to enjoy my Top 5 TV series...
Is Stranger Things in it?
I too was surprised not to see IT, my all time favorite
My favorites read as a child are: 5. Tommyknockers4. Dreamcatcher3. Desperation2. It1. Pet sematary
The long walk... Rage... if you have never read his books read these and you will be hooked. The long walk is one I've read over and over
It took me quite a while, but over the past couple of years I've finally gotten into reading Stephen King's work. I haven't read any of the books in this list, but Carrie, Pet Semetary, Skeleton Crew, The Dead Zone Misery and a few more have all been read and thoroughly enjoyed. Just picked up Tomiknockers (probably misspelled but whatever) and can't wait to crack it open.
Never really read Stephen King, this top 5 video has made me legitimately want to read all of his stuff. If a majority of other characters are mentioned in the dark tower, what books should I read before hand, so I understand the references?
***** Honestly you pretty much have to read everything in his bibliography to catch every reference in The Dark Tower. Just read it whenever you want to and don't worry about the references. They aren't overly important to the overall storyline. Probably the most prominent character that makes an appearance is one from Salem's Lot. So maybe read Salem's Lot. (It's kind of a vampire story, very good) Then just crack on with TDT. Usually I suggest reading TDT before reading everything else or read everything else then TDT. Your pick. (Liam just started reading King's work and he went with TDT very early!) You won't miss out on anything by reading TDT without reading anything else. Hard to explain. Go for it however you wish. I cannot advise very well. lol
Mine is the green mile
In the Dark Tower at the moment and almost done with The Wastelands. So almost 3 books down and so far, each has gotten better and better. I'm loving the world it exists in and the characters are fantastic. Really enjoying the fact that there are more books to go, hopefully they continue to live up to the standard that has been set so far. These are the first Stephen Kings books I've ever read.
awesome, to me I hope this doesn't sound sad but I really look up the people who are passionate about there craft. Stephen king, Guillermo del Toro, Hideo Kohima guys like that
5. Christine 4. Salems Lot 3. 11/22/63 2. It 1. The Stand -- Interestingly enough, the book that freaked me out the most was Misery...because it was so easy to see something like that happening for real AND he was so descriptive of what the main character was going through. I almost couldn't finish it...
My favorite Stephen King book is The Dead Zone. That's probably because I associate it with the movie that features a young Christopher Walken.
the dead zone movie came close to the book. certainly not everything. cronenberg left out how johnnie hit his head on the ice in the very beginning and obviously some other leave outs and differences but oh well you cant completely copy a book. but hey, the dead zone movie came close. in the book, when stilson taught that dog a lesson, i laughed my ass off. and frank dodds mother was completely different. "YOU KNEW"!
that was the first sk book I read. and it is amazing, I agree.
That is one of my favorite films of all time.
Good book, good movie.
Dead Zone is my favourite book of all time but my favourite Stephen King book is The Running Man (if that makes sense).
My first Stephen King book was last year after I watched him giving a lecture at a university. He talked about his new book at the time 11-22-63. Never been interested in reading his books but since have read (audiobooks suit me best) listened to many of them. Don't like sci if or paranormal stuff but this book was fantastic. Also great to listen to his "on writing" audiobook which he tells his beginning as a writer and his motivations, interesting hints about what to write or not if you are a budding author.
You always remember your first King novel. My mother gave me a copy of Dead Zone after she read it, and this was the early eighties, I was really young, still shocked she gave it to me because she was so conservative. I fell in love with that book and the movie adaptation is pretty good too.
You did it again! I love hearing you talk about things you really like (especially books)!
This might slightly hurt your feelings, but I've always had a bad opinion of Stephen King.. for absolutely no reason. I've just had some weird "meh"ness about him. You've convinced me to give him a shot! Do you think Insomnia would be a cool one to start with? That's the plot line that most intrigued me!
Insomnia was my first Stephen King book. Watching this video reminded me of the book. It was good, but I don't think, in my opinion, it's a good place to start. I heard The Shining is the most popular place to start.
***** A lot of people don't love Stephen King. I suppose because he's got that weird unconventional writing style. I think just go with your gut. If it sounds like Insomnia is your cup of tea go for it! Thanks for watching Ariel! (And don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings, I welcome the discussion! :D)
MoreMoreOrange I'd Start with Under The Dome, Needful Things or Salem's Lot. No reason, other than those are perhaps my 3 favorites, but I've read most of his work, and love his books!!
You should read the dark tower series. It's different then everything else he's ever wrote and it will blow you mind.
***** no no no read pet cemetery lol it will fuck you up....in a good way.
I've only read 5 Stephen King books but my absolute favorite has to be On Writing because it's partially autobiographical and I love reading about authors and their creative process and their advice to new writers. I also loved The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon.
man , am so glad you mentioned firestarter. Dunno why there are haters that are not too fussed about this book and got to ask , why did you not include the dead zone
It may not be the scariest but I still get chills from The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. It was the first Stephen King book I read and, at 10 years old, it fucked my brain up
Has this happened to you guys? I read IT, I really liked the book overall, despite some absurd parts. Then I go to the used book store and see all the $4-5 Stephen King books. Couldn't resist it and just bought like ten of them. lol
One Stephen King book that I absolutely loved, and feel is fairly underrated, is Dolores Claiborne. Its one of those King books that gripped me in tight and I just kept reading until I finished the book in about 4 or so days. Definitely recommended, its also a really powerful and emotional story, and the way he writes it from the perspective of the main character just makes the development and story that much better. Great video, by the way!
