    Default The Talisman

    Hi all, has anyone else here read The Talisman by SK? How is it? I need opinions from you who have read it before i buy it. Is it worth buying it? If so i will go to the bookstore right away.

    I bought Duma Key yesterday and bought The Stand, Geralds Game the other day. But I need to buy some more books written by SK. I have finished reading Carrie the other day and found it really enthralling and i really love it!!!

    Any other page-turner books by SK would you recommend? Thank you so much! BTW, I am from China. Nice to meet you all!! I am awaiting your replies. Thanks guys!!!

    In my opinion, it's the best book I've ever read. Life changing I would say.

    Welcome to the board.

    The Talisman is a great book. And after reading it, I recommend you pick up Black House, which is the sequel.

    Then I recommend diving into the Dark Tower books, beginning with The Gunslinger. Talisman, Black House, and The Stand are all tied into the Dark Tower series.

    Yes, it's a wonderful book and highly recommended, and you've many a great read in front of you. I agree about following it with it's sequel, Black House, and then starting the Dark Tower cycle with The Gunslinger and Drawing of the Three.

    I'd read Hearts in Atlantis after The Talisman and before Black House, then read the Dark Tower cycle.

    Hi,

    Aye, and The Stand before Wizard and Glass, and Salem's Lot before Wolves of the Calla too.

    The Talisman is spectacular! One of the books that started my SK addiction. Definately do as agent4CK says and pick up its sequel and the Dark Tower series. Most King books have a relationship with the Dark Tower books.

    Another good one, in my opinion, is The Dark Half.

    Long days and pleasant nights.

    A graphic novel adaptation of the book starts up this fall, too.
