I like King's allusions to music. And even in his most recent short story collection, (The story about the girl's basketball team).

Let me say thank you to those who agreed w me. If I had it to do over I wish I had not got Crichton confused w Vonnegut. I've read both. Just a careless error. I was trying to praise Mr. King for suspense at the end of Pet Semetary that rivaled Andromeda Strain. As for the phrase "graphic...

Just read it again. King's strongest point is his razor sharp delineation between the good, wholesome things in this world and their polar opposites. Think of that perfect day Louis spends flying a kite with his son Gage. Reminds you of the Let's Go Fly A Kite musical number in Mary Poppins...

I'd been up all night. I made a stupid mistake.

I'd been up all night. I made a stupid mistake re the author of Andromeda Strain. Sorry.

For everybody who noticed my Crichton/Vonnegut mix up, I'm sorry. I'm familiar with both authors, but I hadn't had much sleep. I read both authors in high school over 40 years ago. I was simply praising King for reaching Crichton's level of suspense and thrill, in the last part of Andromeda...

I didn't know there was a movie.

I'd been up all night. I made a mistake.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for correcting me about Crichton; I'd been up all night reading the book. I was tired. A mysterious force wanted me to make that mistake. But who wrote Strain is irrelevant...

Rating: 4/5 stars Spoiler warning: I discuss the ending. I would recommend this book for adults only. There is not only graphic violence and horror, but graphic sex as well. I gave the rating I did because I suspect King did some research, always a pain, but a plus for verisimilitude...

We meet again today! Your story's like mine. I was 8 years old and waiting in line to get back in school after lunch and recess. Soon an odd mumbling started, including gun, president, shot. We were all confused until another 8-year-old jumped out of line and said, "You idiots, the...

Youth is wasted on the young.

Just finished Dr. Sleep. Not disappointed at all. Great job. I usually have low expectations for sequels. I read The Shining after seeing the movie. I'm a Kubrick fan. Some 30 years later i bought On Writing. Then I finally got Chistine, similar to a novel I was going to call Cruise...

I meant to refer to Dr Harold Bloom of Yale, not Dr. Boom, of Los Alamos

First, I'm new here an don't know what I'm doing. I logged in, searched for IT (and man there was foul stench down there). Anyway, there was a blurb about the book, some reviews from '11 to '12. But no place for additional commnts. One thing I wanted to point out is the irony that H. Boom...

Is it possible to review older novel like IT? I tried but failed.
