RE: Misery (Ezzy's Book Read Reviews)
Oh yeah, I definitely agree that King is the master of horror, suspense, and fantasy, I would even go so far as to call him a master story teller in general. Though there are others who arguably write better than he does and I'm not even sure I would put one of his books in my top five, when it comes to telling a story well, Stephen is definitely King :)
I'll never forget reading the IT, which was one of the first long novels I ever read, snuck it out of my dad's book shelf when I was barely nine years old, haha! It's truly amazing that I didn't develop a fear of clowns like so many others have!
I think of all of his books turned into movies, it's the short stories that have truly shined. Stand by Me based on The Body or Shawshank Redemption. And then there was the short seriel he did The Green Mile, absolutely fantastic movie came out of that one :)
Love the review Ezzy! Especially like the memories it brings to mind:)
Hey there, @dreemit!
"IT" was a masterpiece and I really feel the need to read through it again with the movie coming up so soon and all. I'm so glad you share the same enthusiasm as I do. All the movies and books you've mentioned are all stand-out pieces of class in their own right. As I say, the movies and books alike.
Thank you for the great comments, you're too sweet! Thank you! :)
