Fans buy the 'wrong' Stephen King book

[Lord Tyrion]

"Probably one of the best books written by Stephen King. Not the usual King story but instead a warm wonderful story"

lol

which guy is your "crush" FlakeNoir? is it Ewan McGregor (in a kilt?)

Oh this one (Ewan in a kilt) could get me into trouble... (again)
I can't really say who my main crush is...
(but yar, I do have a soft spot for Mr. McGregor there)

every time i download a book, it has the author's name on it.....so, how do you make this mistake unless you're just not paying attention?

The funny thing is, i'm looking at the Barnes and Noble site right now and Stephen's JL is only $6.57 while Emily's is $10.95 (Nook) and $13.47 (paperback). It pays to pay attention...lol

Also, weren't some of the reviews by people who thought is was King's book, before King's book was actually even released?

i luv u (Out of Order) - in a non-creepy platonic sort of "how Sundrop loves Johnny Depp" kinda way

Ooooo, you dropped a Depp bomb.....

Yes! I was laughing reading some of them... one said something along the line's of 'this is a far departure from King's usual work.'

Uh, yeah......because if you noticed the title page........it's not written by Stephen King. Or did they think this was him writing under a chick's name? Maybe this is his new secret identity.... do you think he's sitting there, typing away on his computer wearing a long blonde wig? LOL

I bought season one of Haven the other day by accident, thinking I had grabbed season 2. I turned around and took it right back and they traded it out for the right one immediately with no fuss no muss... don't know how it works with Amazon...

I am embarrassed to admit how many wrong books I have e-purchased.

Thank God. I thought it was just me.

 

[doowopgirl]

Isn't there a legal issue here? Or does it go back to Buyer beware.

Yes it does. I e bought a book called Crossroads by a man named Stephen King. It is his actual name. It's just not our SK. I wondered why it waqs so short and not really up to the usual standard. It's up to me to research before I buy.

No ma'am, you are NOT alone!

I have not been disappointed though. I take all books, though I hail King the highest!
