The Dark Tower series…all these books have been life changing, once I finished them, I felt as though I were not the same person who had started these books.


Least favourites;

Colorado Kid

Thinner

I'm surprised by the amount of times I see 'Salem's Lot' & 'The Talisman' not making ppl's top 5. I've only read like maybe 15 SK books and plan on reading more before I answer this..

But I'd still say the Talisman at least was probably one of the top 3 best books I've read ever.

[Wolfslice]

best

1. Dark Tower (all. book 4 in particular, but they would all fill the top 5)
2. Insomnia
3. Pet Sematary
4. The Shining
5. Misery

worst (I DO like all of these except Christine)

1. Christine
2. Eyes Of The Dragon
3. Cell
4. Cujo
5. Under The Dome

[throne_92]

Under the Dome may have been the best page-turner for me out of all of SK's books. Constantly wondering what's going to happen next

1) Dreamcatcher
2) IT
3) Stand

5 Worst (quite hard to do tbh)

1) Lisey's Story
2) Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon
3) Bag of Bones

lets face it all 5 of the worst above are great stories - just not as great as others

Well, okay, this should be easy.
