My Comments:
I’m not a big fan of Stephen King, but I do pick up a story of his every now and then, especially if I run across one that is not horror-based (there are only so many horror novels I can handle).
This is a suspenseful and slightly chilling story minus the ghouls and demons, so if you’re not really into horror stories but want to sample Stephen King, give this one a try. I think you’ll really enjoy it.
Once you’re done reading it, consider watching the movie with Christopher Walken playing the part of ‘Johnny’. I really like Walken; he’s one of the most talented performers, in my humble opinion.
I haven't read the book, but it was the first movie I'd seen starring Christopher Walken. I agree, he is brilliant and I loved the movie.
ReplyDeleteI always liked Christopher Walken. I think he should have been much more popular.
DeleteI will take this under advisement Martha. I am easily 'freaked out' and I think King is a master at doing this!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great book. I think you'll enjoy it.
DeleteHis nonfiction book, "ON WRITING," is one that I truly enjoyed. You should read it, I think you would like it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that book. I'll look into it. Thanks, Kay.
