Dreamcatcher and Tommyknockers are in my bottom 5 of all King books--lol. Needful Things for the win.
Needful Things. Love the balancing of humor and horror in this one and also Leland Gaunt. Even after a re-read years later I still don't like Tommyknockers. Dreamcatcher is good but not the best of the three.
I will fight with youse guys upon this theme! Until my eyelids will no longer wag!
I've always liked any story with a possession motif, plus TK reminds me of that line in On Writing about the fossil...and yay back in the ago...used to tell Ma, I'm going up in the bush! head out the door and walk up through Ed Loughner's terraced yard, make my way down the C&H tracks, cross over to the Copper Range by the Dizzy Bridge and head up the trail along the Hungarian...a big deep gouge in the earth...that coulda held a spaceship...too, it reminds me of a favorite story, Desperation. All three stories, really, have a balance of humor and horror. the salad-eating, Evian-drinking Goths had reached their objective! Knew quite a few people like whatever his name is...I forget...in my travels.
.... there he goes again.... <sigh!>...Tommy...it was a great rock opera...

To quote Michael Jackson- 'I'm a lover, not a fighter.' I never felt a connection to either of the main characters in Tommyknockers. Just didn't care about either one of them.I will fight with youse guys upon this theme! Until my eyelids will no longer wag!

...ain't I a stinker?....... there he goes again.... <sigh!>
The only SK book I could not finish was The Talisman (maybe I had a mental block because it was a collaboration...?)Needful Things is in my top 10 of all SK books, so it got my vote here. Next, I would vote for The Tommyknockers; I actually like this book. Dreamcatcher was out of the running for me since it is the only SK book I have never been able to finish; even after 3 very serious attempts (got about 3/4 of the way once).
