This summer I read both Desperation and The Regualtors. I read Desperation first. It was a gripping story that I got into right away, but little did I know the next novel would shadow it in comparison. After reading The Regulators I re-read Desperation, and I loved the effect that the same characters, different attiutdes that the stories held. It was magic in my hands. I liked The Regulators a lot more than Desperation, but I am not sure if I would feel the same way if I had read The Regulators first. It is a weird concept that I can never go back on.
There are many books of Stephen King that I like, so much that I will read them over and over... some of these include:
There are also a lot of Stephen King's work available on film now... and I am sad to say that I have only seen a few of these...my favorites include IT and The Stand. The books are always better than the movies, and I always make sure I read the book before watching the movie, as it ruins the suspense of King's words when you already know what is going to happen. Well, this page is in the works, and I have a lot more to say about King and Bachman, so keep checking!!!!
