last week, actually. I commented to a girl at work that I hadn't read anything of his in years, she loaned it to me. enjoyable. much more than under - mafic May 1, 08:34 1
- good grief this appears to be the " sleeper" King novel -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 08:37
Yeah, read it a few months ago. -- nm - Ender May 1, 08:08
I love me some King but I just wasn't interested in the subject matter but if yall say its good... -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 08:02 1
- It's very solid. I really liked it a lot. Doesn't take long to hook you. -- nm - Jim May 1, 08:06
King is old and tired. Joe Hill is the new hotness. - David, Halo Legend May 1, 07:56 29 1
- but he does have " daddy issues" heh. - Epiphany May 1, 08:03
- What kind of books does he write? - Krusty May 1, 08:01 27
  - There's a chapter in Horns that is probably my favorite chapter ever written - prayformojo May 1, 08:09 4
    - well..which one? -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 08:09 3
      - We should guess. (spoils) - JaxSean May 1, 08:10 2
        
        I"m guessing *spoils* - Epiphany May 1, 08:16 1
        
        It was the Cherry Bomb chapter -- nm - prayformojo May 1, 08:21
  - Thanks everyone. I appreciate all the replies. Looks like I have a new author to check out. -- nm - Krusty May 1, 08:07
  - Decent scary stuff. Better than his dad, too. - TWuG May 1, 08:05
  - Creepy ones just like his dad. - David, Halo Legend May 1, 08:05 4
    - I'll check his stuff out. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty May 1, 08:09
    - * insert my usual whining about wanting to see the pilot for Locke/Key -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 08:07
    - Ooh, he has a new book? I didn't know this. -- nm - JaxSean May 1, 08:06 1
      - see bellow \/ -- nm - decline May 1, 08:08
  - (He's King's son.) -- nm - Reagen May 1, 08:02 6
    - What kind of messed up guy names their kid "Joe King"? -- nm - Ender May 1, 08:12 1
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty May 1, 08:20
    - imagine how creepy of a childhood he must have had. I can just imagine SK waking him up in the middle of the night holding a giant knife "Joe, do you - Don Homer May 1, 08:07 1
      - King has a fantastic story involving Joe and the writing of Gerald's Game. -- nm - Jim May 1, 08:10
    - He could have gone rogue and wrote romance novels. ;-) -- nm - Krusty May 1, 08:06 1
      - well, his mom (Tabitha King) does write more normal fiction -- nm - decline May 1, 08:13
  - Horror. Horns is very good but Heart Shaped Box is downright creepy -- nm - Beaker May 1, 08:02 4
    - but he's got a unique voice that is not the same as SK's. A few chapters into NOS4A2 and so far it is excellent -- nm - decline May 1, 08:05 1
      - I am 10% done. I don't want to get too far ahead of Kim. -- nm - David, Halo Legend May 1, 08:06
    - I'm going to promote the collection of short stories - very good. 21st Century Ghosts -- nm - Epiphany May 1, 08:03 1
      - I still shudder when I think about The Cape -- nm - prayformojo May 1, 08:26
  - David gushes. - groiny May 1, 08:01 2
    - I don't understand people who don't love things. -- nm - David, Halo Legend May 1, 08:05 1
      - I love this. -- nm - loosilu May 1, 08:37
Yes, I did. I liked it a lot. More than anything in a while, it really made me question what I would do in the same situation. -- nm - Jim May 1, 07:53 6
- It's off to a good start, I haven't read many of his books in recent years but can easily see it being my fave of his in quite some time. -- nm - Don Homer May 1, 08:04 3
  - It's up there for me. Be sure to post up as you get more into it. Interested to see your thoughts as you go through. -- nm - Jim May 1, 08:15 2
    - will do. the last thing I read last night was... (spoiler) - Don Homer May 1, 08:16 1
      - Nicey nice. I like the time in Derry, because King (book spoils) - Jim May 1, 08:22
- The Third Bullet by Stephen Hunter sounds a little similar (about the JFK killing and has alot of theories around it) - Beaker May 1, 07:55 1
  - I love the detail that was put into the King book. I felt like I know what it was like to live at that time. - Jim May 1, 08:03
