Doc's Lowest Rungs On The Ladder

[Doc Creed]

I don't think we can ever see who picked what. Which is why we are all telling you!

Ha! All of the polls I've posted have allowed me to see each person's individual vote. I have to first choose option Make Results Public, not sure if I flubbed up this time. I'll be careful next time. No biggie...thanks, Marsha for trying.

Rose Madder. Also Colorado Kid.

Can you believe I have not read Colorado Kid yet? That is one I need to go find at Value Village - I had a copy but I think I mailed it to another member on the Board here

[I have seen a season of the TV show Haven but it started to get boring so stopped watching].

It is written in pulp fiction style. Not typical of a SK book, but one I completely enjoyed.

I enjoyed Joyland so I'm sure I'd like it as well!

I remember having that choice, too, and that's what I planned to check off but either you have to do it when you first set it up or it was dropped in one of the software updates. Or, I'm just going about it the wrong way to edit the poll area. There is always that possibility.

Ok, thanks again for checking into it.

Dreamcatcher. No one does batsh*t crazy like drugged out King.

 

[kingricefan]

Out of all of them I voted for Cell as it harkens back to the way King wrote in the past. Rose Madder would be second.

 

[fljoe0]

Cell by a mile. I love the bleakness of it (which is exactly what a lot of people dislike about it).

 

[GNTLGNT]

...I enjoyed them all, but picked TGWLTG....it’s “flavor” hit my mental tastebuds the best...

 

[skimom2]

I liked all of them, aside from Dreamcatcher. The Alien Quartet (Tommyknockers, Dreamcatcher, From a Buick 8, and Under the Dome are in my bottom list of all of Mr. King's books, though--aliens just don't interest me).

Rose Madder is one of my favorite King books. Loved all the strong female characters, and wow, was the antagonist scary and detestable! I read it back when my life was more or less “normal,” but after the events of the past few months, I find myself recalling little phrases or happenings from the book that remind me to have faith in myself and be strong. “I’m really Rosie, and I’m Rosie real.”

 

[Paddy C]

I opted for The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon as I really liked that story.

 

[muskrat]

It is written in pulp fiction style. Not typical of a SK book, but one I completely enjoyed.

If pulp fiction means just a ‘young miss’ and two old duffers sitting around telling a tall tale that eventually doesn’t go any damn where...

Sorry, Spidey...I’m not yelling at you...I just didn’t care much for Colorado Kid.

Didn’t care for any on the list except Cell. That one hit all my sweet spots. Kinda like a condensed vintage King TV dinner, packed and processed, unhealthy but oh so tasty...

 

[Arkay Lynchpin]

Damn, dude, you made me re-read five novels just for a vote? SRSLY??

 

[mal]

I chose The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon with Dreamcatcher a close second. They spoke to me in a way that all his other books did as well.

 

[Tery]

I went with Cell, with Rose Madder coming in a close second. But I went by the one that compelled a re-read out of those. My least favorite was The Tommyknockers. I had to try twice to finish it.

RM is my favourite on the list as well, for the reasons you mention.

 

[80sFan]

I voted Rose Madder but Cell.was a close 2nd. The former was a much better story, but the ending of Cell has stayed with me all these years.
I tear up just thinking about it.

I enjoyed Joyland so I'm sure I'd like it as well!

Not necessarily...Joyland is one of my favorite books, but I didn't care for Colorado Kid at all for the same reasons as muskrat:

I think Colorado Kid would have been a better book if King had just given us one tiny little answer to the question of where that coin came from.....
