All 64 Stephen King Books Ranked and Reviewed

What do you all think about the list? The task of ranking such things is subjective to opinion from the get go. I myself do not necessarily agree with the rankings but I give points to the author for making an attempt.
Something i do agree with, such as Tommyknockers and insomnia in the bottom half and It and the Stand near the top. some definitely not. but that was expected. At least i think so. Always when you make a list everybody disagrees. And Kings books , they are so different, good in different ways, fits different moods you are in and so on. But he has a point with thatr the books that has a lot of references to the dark tower universe without being in the series easily can become difficult to get if you haven't lived in that universe earlier.

Let's not forget the difference between a good story and a well written story. I love a good story line, and I love good writing, and sometimes I like one more than the other, and sometimes the twain don't mix.
