Book Rating

Stephen King depicts mania in its extreme in this gripping short novel (0 more)

It can drag on at points and, true to King's style, he draws out his metaphors excessively, beating them within an Inch of their lives. Enough with the piling! (0 more)

I'm your biggest fan!

I love this book. Stephen King moves keeps you on your toes wondering how, or if, the protagonist is going to get out of his predicament. His depiction of Annie Wilkes is reminiscent of fan mania you see in every day life!

"Every single frame of this gorgeous film is seared into my brain forever. Tarkovsky’s Stalker urges us to take notice of the ever-changing environments surrounding us. What is our purpose in this natural world and how do we not destroy it all during our journey here on earth? I constantly return to this film as a meditation on time and life, and it always makes me re-examine my true desires and goals. I guess you could say that I am forever searching for the Zone"

"I read this recently — it’s a small and significant book. It’s the autobiographical account of a teenage boy who journeys through the Nazi death camps with his father, desperately clinging to life and each other when humanity has become perversely distorted. It’s almost beyond human and beyond language. When I read it, I wondered how someone would interpret this story if they dug it up in ancient ruins centuries from now. Could it be true? What are we capable of in terms of cruelty and survival?"
