Save your 2 bucks. Im a big King fan but this one was a waste
The 20th century stuff is his best stuff but 11/22/63, doctor sleep and the Bill Hodges / Holly Gibney books were all great imo
Not sure what's up with all the hate in this thread. I like King books old and new and really enjoyed this one. Definitely worth the $2.

I can't remember if I read this or listened to it or not. Guess for $2 it's worth a or another shot.

I've read every single King book. Many of them multiple times. This one I really really struggled to finish. It should be available in most libraries without any hold time.

Quote from BPD007 :
King's later works aren't that good sadly. He does write well though. But if you want some good King reads grab some of his old prints- Carrie, Salem's Lot, The Shining, The Stand, his short stories. They are good.

I am not a huge King fan, but do you think this is really his son's book but he put his name on it to help it sell? Also, how do two people write a novel? Take turns with each chapter?

For $2 I'll give it a shot. I have yet to read a Stephen King book I didn't like. I agree that his older stuff is generally better, but it's all good. 11/22/63 is one of his best. Absolutely phenomenal. I've read it 3 times and am thinking about reading it again since it's been a few years. Also, Duma Key is underrated. It's slower paced and probably not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

King went sharply downhill post 2000. He used to be my fav writer and I read his every book until that point.

Could have something to do with his accident in late 90s. He's never been the same since. I was unable to finish a single book of his in the last 20 years.

He's been writing the same random "out there" garbage as every other mediocre modern american writer. Instead of staying true to himself he seemed to had chosen a path of "keeping up with (utterly mediocre) literary Joneses". and instead of leader became a follower. A very bad follower at that.
