I resent being called an idiot, idiot. And I don't care if that was aimed at me or not, I'm feeling sour. David Mitchell, Alex Garland, Bryce Courtenay, Stephen King, Christopher Rice, Stephen White, Khaled Hosseini, Steve Alten, Johnathan Stroud, some dude whose name I forgot, among a few...

Well, I'm happy to see the success of Harry Potter hasn't gone to her head (in saying she knows it won't reach the saturation point of HP), but I'm also glad to see she wants to keep writing. I'm sure the book won't be my type of thing, as I'm no fan of her writing style, but I do wish her all...

So, then, is Everything's Eventual a complete conglomeration of crap? Because I picked it up awhile back ad only managed to read a few short stories in there. I found them boring. And the others I just couldn't bring myself to finish. And King was right in wondering why Man in the Black Suit won...

Who walks into a bookstore, picks up a book, signs it, then walks away? I don't care if it's King, I laughed reading it, picturing the whole scene in my head.

Stephen King has gone BANANAS! :eek: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22258572-662,00.html I knew something was off when I read that Harry Potter review, but THIS? You know what I think? I think the Tower has fallen.

Wasn't it Einstein who said "Imagination is more important than knowledge."? If that's the case, I'd think he would have beena believer.

Well, I do believe in the afterlife--or some sort of spiritual realm--for things that have happened to my mother. I'll give two brief examples, point by point. Example One: -I was around seven years old when my grandfather died -A week or so after the funeral--it was so long ago, I dont...

I think you may in fact be quite the detective, sir. Maybe King wants to veer away from his 'ol'country talk ayuh' and move on to some European flavor. "Blimy, ol'chap, wha whas that? a monster? a MUNSTER? CRIPES! IT STOLE MAH BLOODY LEG!" I can see it. King has a hidden agenda.

I liked the review as well, but I remember back in the day when the young Stephen King was HONEST about things, not GA-GA about them. And I'm not saying he was lying of Harry Potter's quality, because I enjoyed the series, but that "gorgeous epilogue," tidbit sent me crawling up the wall faster...

That idiot didn't write "The gorgeous epilogue of Deathly Hallows," did he? *Checks again* Wow...he did. Look, I enjoy Stephen King's writing and all, but wow, that word basically epitomizes my response to this guys review. King, you're a great writer, I love your stuff, but God damnit...

This made me laugh. A Pizza Delivery Man criticizing people who live in apartments for wanting "no more out of life," or something like that, while he smokes up the joint in his car and (I assume), lives with his parents. I think I've found the root to his hostility! Anyhow, it was decent...

I laughed my head off reading this. How long has this thread been around? And why haven't I noticed it before? To people who condemn HP for being harmful to children, two things: One--You're stupid. Two--If your child is affected by this book, then your child is stupid. Sad, but...

She did a good job. Not a great job, and this being Harry Potter, I wanted great. Sorry if I'm not loyal to a book and expect higher quality. And, I already said plot holes aren't important, but they were there, and I mentioned them--that's not being negative, that's pointing out an observation.

I don't mind the plot holes simply because J.K. Rowling never bogged HP down with self importance. Stories that run off on philosophical tangents while simaltaneously twisting up story threads make me want to hunt down the writer and beat them in a dark alley. Harry Potter is fun, not serious...

I've read a lot of King. Not all, but a lot. This book fits in the "not all," section simply because I couldn't get past the shittier than shit beginning. Mmm...read Green Mile.

Haven't you just been discussing over one for the last few of your posts? Jesus. Go google "Harry Potter Plot Holes," and be amazed.

I have to intervene, to save you both the trouble. The plot holes in Harry Potter are large enough to house every obese American--and then some.

I had loved the movie Fight Club. When I discovered that it had been a book prior to a movie I ran to the bookstore faster than a junky after a crack train and purchased it there and then, without any forethought. I get home, sit down, eager to read. Twenty minutes into it and what felt like...

If you want to get into Stephen King, Arabian, check these out: It The Stand Cujo Those are three of my favorite from him, and if anyone disagrees then they deserve to be smacked. Twice. Backhanded. For insubordination.

Well, considering this was all description, it was a bit hard to get through (not to say it was bad, I thought the writing was well done), but both this and Symphony did well to paint a picture. Why don't you post a narrative on here? This way we'll have a story to roll with.
