    Default Worst Novel Of The Bunch

    I read a certain thread and couldn't help but notice six books were most unliked. These books being, Cell, Tommyknockers, From A Buick 8, Dreamcatcher, Gerald's Game and Lisey's Story. Which is the worst to you?

    If I had to choose, Cell. Funnily enough, Insomnia and Lisey's Story are two of my favorites.

    Has to be Liseys Story, From a Buick 8 and The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon for me. I loved the Cell one of my favorite King books

    I would have to read some of the others for a second time, but I recently re-read Insomnia and, unlike many other works I grew to love the more I read them, it remains (for me) far and away the biggest snoozer Mr. King has ever produced.

    Tommyknockers...good characters, but the story just never did it for me

    I voted Lisey's Story, but it was a tossup between that and Cell. I found I couldn't connect with the characters at all. Most of SK's stories have great characters but these two? Don't know what it was.

    Hi,

    I think what this poll will prove is that one man's (or woman's) meat is another man's poison.

    I've never been that keen on Gerald's Game, which is what I voted (though I intend to re-read it soon) or From a Buick 8, but I love Lisey's Story and Insomnia.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    Could I have an "other" option for the poll, Ms. Mod?

    If I can figure out how to edit that portion of it, I'll do so. Have tried to get to the Poll area but not having any luck. I'll check with Jordan.
