It's supposed to be one of his best? Huh.

His Best???

[(Anonymous)]

What morons have you been listening to? Sure, the first 2/3 of the book are decent, but it was one of the dumbest, bullshittiest endings since someone wrote a story ending with "...it was all just a dream."

And I say this as a fan of his...

Re: His Best???

[(Anonymous)]

Same, I'm also a huge fan. I own 90% of his stuff.

First 2/3rds? Engrossing. I loved it. Ending is ass.

[(Anonymous)]

Really? His best?
...Is it considered that just because it got a television adaption?

[(Anonymous)]

Lots of Stephen King gets adapted for movies/TV, though.

How are you defining one of his best?

[(Anonymous)]

In the top 20 or 25? Okay, I guess. I find his books really uneven, in the sense, that I find some of them very engaging, but others I'll have little to no interest in at all. Maybe you don't care enough about any of the characters. If I can't connect well with at least one character, I don't much feel the need to keep reading.

I'd consider it one of his worst, tbh. Too long, flat underdeveloped characters, and an unsatisfying ending.

Revival is much better written but it's also one of his top 5 worst IMO.

[thistlechaser]

Agreed that it's the worst. It's also the last one of his I read (that's how bad it was, it killed all my desire to read anything of his ever again!).

The whole thing was so political -- the bad guys were just a thin rewrite of Bush/Cheney (and I say that as someone who hated those two). I read King for entertaining fiction, not in-your-face politics.

Blah. It's been years since I read that book and it still makes me angry.

[starfleetbrat]

I too think its one of his worst. It was hard to get through and the ending was a bit meh. I think it was the characters more than anything that made it a bit of a slog. Just didn't care about any of them. Don't in the show either, but at least its something to watch. lol

His best imo = his short stories and his earlier works with one or two exceptions.

Text: I have been a Stephen King fan for 16 years now (I’m 28 atm), and have read almost everything he wrote. I was so happy when this book came out, I bought it and couldn’t wait to read it. For some reason, I just can’t finish it. I’ve read about one third of it and I just keep losing interest. I don’t know why that is, because I don’t find the book boring. Perhaps I just don’t care enough about what happens next?

S!B It’s Under the Dome and it’s supposed to be one of King’s best.

[(Anonymous)]

It's one of my least favorite of his, too. I felt like it set up too many conflicts that weren't satisfyingly resolved. Plus the aviation fail. Tip for writers: Don't have a significant point in your story hinge on a non-communicating commercial airliner entering US airspace and flying straight into a restricted area without anyone noticing or calling an intercept. Especially in any story set after 9/11.

[(Anonymous)]

I bought the book too and it's his only book that I can't be fucked to finish. Granted it is soooooo long but for some reason I can't engage with the book (or the tv show, gave up a couple of episodes into season 2). It's a bit disappointing.

[(Anonymous)]

Y'know...

when I tried to read Dolores Claiborne the first time, I couldn't get into it. Same with Rose Madder.

A few months later on both? I ate that shit up. Sometimes you're just not in the mood for a particular book. It happens!
