"This is relatively new but I read it when it came out and I'm currently watching the HBO series which is creepy and great. And honestly you could stick any Stephen King book in here and I'd probably be happy? It's not news that he's a master storyteller and so good at what he does. Although I do wish he'd tweet less, damn."

Better Than Expected
I have been looking forward to this movie since it was announced, as I am a huge Stephen King fan and I am a fan of the source material that this movie is based on. However, when the movie was released it was ruthlessly torn apart by critics and I even heard a few brandish it as the worst movie of the year or as one of Stephen King's worst adaptions.
You can look at this movie from two perspectives. You can look at it as a lazy adaption of a fantastic layered story full of intrigue, or you can see it for what it is, a big, dumb, mindless summer blockbuster. As someone who saw it as the latter, I enjoyed it for what it was. Yes it was ridiculous and pretty cheesy at times, but if you enjoy it as intended and don't take it too seriously, there is a fun time to be had here.

Sometimes dead is better
I just about remember reading the book a very long time ago and it did stay with me for a long time. A typical chilling horror from Stephen King. I've not seen the '89 film but the trailer for this had me interested.
It's good, very atmospheric, interesting story and a decent cast. The only down side was the climax didn't feel as scary as I remember from the book and a tad abrupt. They have changed a couple of plot points from the book, one is quite a big change. Although I can understand why. But the ending is different and doesn't quite have the impact of the book. Despite that it's still an enjoyable film if you are a Stephen King fan.

It wins hands down against The Stand
The title says it all. Once I picked this up, I couldn't put it down. As always, Stephen King creates a world inside your head and 3 dimensional characters you feel like you could reach out and touch.
This book leads you by the hand through a small town cut off from the outside world, straight to a finale that is a satisfying end. King does not disappoint.
Kings telltale show don't tell writing is on display here, whilst critics condemn him, as a reader this is what brings the story to life.
If are on the fence about King, pick this up, stick with it, he will delight and surprise you.
