Greatest Stephen King book of all time

[Mary Strickland]

I'd have to say its a hopeless 3 way tie between The Stand, It, and The Talisman. IT would have won hands down had it not been for some minor irritations near the end of the novel.

Is it just me, or does the dialog just LAG in those two author books? They just don't feel right to me.

Probably one that he hasn't written/published yet. I'm a hopeless optimist.

Collectively-The Dark Tower Series....standing alone.....The Dark Tower.

Not my most favorite. But this is probably my second or third favorite!

I have read every Stephen King novel except for The Cycle of the Werewolf (I can never find it) and IT was my favorite. I love the depth, character development, and mystery of it. I loved the beginning with the flood and the mentioning of the turtle right from the start - it really set the stage.

my favorite must be misery but i really want to read IT but i cant find it anywhere and im NOTbuying it online

I think that IT is my favorite because I've always been a sucker for monster stories. Especially ones about clowns; also for the fact of how big the novel was. I don't read a lot of huge novels, ones that are a thousand pages long and still going. I thinnk the length of the novel helped, because it felt like a story that you just didn't want to end.
It's a funny thing, people label Stephen King a horror writer, as if everyone of his novels are about monsters, but I think that about 10% of Stephen King's novels are actually about monsters. I'd say that the majority of his novels are thrillers/suspense.

It would have ranked higher for me if a few part were omitted.
The sewer sex scene was very out of place for me, and the long drawn out story of the dead baby really turned me off.

Long time fan, first time posting. I've held off on reading IT for years since I saw the movie ages ago. I'm about 3/4 of the way through and thus far this book is superb. The characters and setting are wonderful. I wish I could go to Derry and hang out at the Barrens with the Losers. Unless things go to h*ll towards the end, this book is going to bump off The Stand as my number 2 favorite behind the DK series.

I love this book, it is so brilliant
