Welcome to Litsy!

In celebration of Stephen King's newest release, If It Bleeds, i'm ranking/reviewing all ten books of his that I've read.

The first one is still the best in my opinion, mainly because of how mysterious and enigmatic the world was. You didn't understand much and that was okay, because we knew what the gunslinger wanted: to catch the man in black. And King succeeded wonderfully here.

8. Doctor Sleep.
This one has some really good character development, but the plot sags too much, and it doesn't help that most of Danny's growth happens before the main plot even starts.

9. Wizard and Glass
Ambiguity is a powerful thing, and i'd argue that Roland was a more interesting character when we didn't know everything about him. A flash back novel would have been fine, if it hadn't been so damn long. Seriously, i don't know how King managed to stretch this much plot out over 700 pages.

How you feel about this one dependz on this: King has this habit of bloating his novels and Cujo is the best example of this. It's a novel even he himself can barely remember, thanks to his severe alcholism at the time. Cujo would have made a great short story, but at 400 pages it doesn't know how to sustain itself.
