hello everyone! thank you so much for watching:) If you are wondering as to why some popular King books are not in this video, feel free to watch a more updated version: czcams.com/video/thxGyKqthVI/video.html :)
I’m a freshman just getting into Stephen king, right now I’m reading The Shining but I’m almost done and I don’t know what other books I should read as a starter, what do you recommend?
I’m currently reading IT, it’s my first Stephen King novel so far. I love his writing style, so cool to read a book with so many more layers too it than just a killer clown.
I just wanna say that it warms my heart to see a young person so enthusiastic about books and Stephen King :) Not that I'm very old (mid-thirties), but it's still nice to see that young people are fans of books, reading, and King! Keep on reading :)
@@melaniedownes1752: I saw the movie twice and I still don't get it. What's so great about the story? And what's with that throwing mud on someone's nice clean sheets hanging on the line?
@@floogelhornzzz4770 it has more of a mystery to it like what happened at the warehouse store and it’s very interesting to see how the owner has these baseball cards for Brian
I loved 11/22/63! have you read it already? And you are right. It's so much more than just time travel and stopping assasination. It has one of the best romantic subplots I've ever read.
my first stephen king was..IT😂 LOVED the shit out of this book and bought carrie, joyland and the bazaar of bad dreams, can’t wait to start reading them
My first Stephen King book was Carrie, when I was 11 years old (now 36). The second was IT, which scared the crap out of me. The third was Needful Things, then Dolores Claiborne when King started to change his writing style a bit. In high school I read Salem's Lot for the first time, but I had already seen the movie years before that. It's hard to say which I like best, because they all have something special. But I will say that IT scares me the most, lol. Carrie is probably the one that I'm most fond of because I felt bad for her and I understood her situation. Rose Madder was great too...wish they made a movie!
@Roze Olifant...only bits and pieces, not all of it. But I will one day. I’ve seen the original movie many times, though, and I might watch the new one.
I'm currently reading IT. I read some of Thinner, but never finished it because I borrowed it and my sister wanted it back. I bought 5 books to start: Misery, Dolores Claiborne, IT, Joyland and Insomnia.
The Stand was the first Stephen King book I read, when I was 17, his best as far as I'm concerned, my all time favourite. It's great that you haven't read it yet, you are in for a treat, enjoy.
My Collection of KIng is This: IT Cujo Pet Sematary The Outsider Bag Of Bones Salem's Lot Misery The Shining Dr sleep AND i think that's it but i want to try and add the bill hodges trilogy to my collection and the stand and dark tower series
it's so awesome to see a teen that reads so much. Your bookshelf behind you is life. Keep it up. Recreational reading is becoming an anomaly in this generation.
props for being one of the few younger "booktubers" i've come across with something more than YA books on your shelves. read It next. it's an awesome book. but really, almost everything he does is good, most of his longer books are actually his best books. for short stories, nightmares and dreamscapes is pretty good, and four past midnight has 4 pretty cool novellas
I love the us covers of king books, we have different covers here in the uk, im trying to collect every book in hardcover and getting shipped over from us. Your videos are cool :)
what I love about books is finding them.I found all of Dan Brown's books in perfect condition from charity shops.Only 1 euro each.I couldn't believe it.People giving away great books like it's nothing lol..I have IT which I bought for 8.99, but i'm hoping to find more of Stephen's books for cheap in some charity shops.I used to hate reading but now as an adult, I love it.Anyway, great collection.
Bag of Bones scared the shit out of me. Shinning scared the shit out me, I would read it when I valet, and I would be outside by myslef and felt like someone was watching me. What's your favorite short story of his?
Misery... just putting that out there. It’s my favorite novel of all time, just seeing the mind games between Annie and Paul is a thing of pure terror XD.
I think a great prank would be to send a single copy of Misery to all your favorite authors. No letter, nothing but the book. That happened to George R. R. Martin once. I think some fan was just messing with him.
It's not really an official series of books, but Needful Things, The Dead Zone, Cujo, and The Dark Half are all set (at least partially) in Castle Rock. That is my latest project.
Wow, I loved your video! I'm in my 40s now but the first Stephen King book I read was The Stand in 7th grade. It was amazing! My teacher didn't believe me that I read the whole thing since it was so long. My daughter is the same way and goes through long books pretty fast (especially if it's a good one!) I look forward to watching more of your videos. You're amazing! It really gives me great hope for the future when I see young people like you out there. Best wishes!
I have Carrie, and the barns n Nobel exclusive Carrie, Salem’s Lot, and The Shinning, Pet Sematary And firestarter. I don’t have it but I did read it. My all time fav is Carrie I just finished reading it the third time yesterday? Now I’m reading Salem’s Lot good so far!
Night Shift and Skeleton Crew are great collections to pick up if you're in a classic King mood. Nightmares & Dreamscapes is rather hit-and-miss, even for a short story collection, but it includes some of my favorite King short stories: "Suffer the Little Children", "Popsy", "The Moving Finger", "Sneakers". Everything's Eventual holds a certain place in my heart because it was the first "adult" book I tried reading (I was in the 4th grade and hot off the heels of "My Teacher is an Alien" by Bruce Coville). "1408" might be one of King's most suspenseful stories. I HIGHLY recommend the audio book, performed by the King himself. Spooky stuff. Wow, I apologize for the Stephen King-length comment. I could talk about this dude for hours. His books literally helped me through middle-school.
I think it’s interesting that you were afraid of dogs and chose to read cujo. I did the same thing with IT. I saw the 1990 adaptation when I was about 5 and it (obviously) scared the crap out of me and now I’m reading IT to see if I can get over my fear of clowns
The movie it's good if you don't compare it with the book. If you go book vs movie, then the movie it's garbage like most of it's books adaptations. The movie it's good tho.
The Dark Tower series is simply amazing. The first book is pretty much universally known as the worst of the series, so if you liked that one you'll love the rest. Happy reading!
I recently bought all the Dark Tower books in that format that you have, and I'm on the third book and I'm enjoying the hell out of them so far. The Gunslinger is definitely the most vague. But they have only gotten better as I've went. You should definitely try and read them eventually. Nice video:)
"Needful Things" is one of his best ever, absolutely enthralling. "Under the Dome" is also a total masterpiece. the Dark Tower series is phenomenal, especially book 4 "wizard and glass". above all else, if you have yet to read "the stand" make it priority number one. the bachman books are pretty awesome as well.
Julia Sapphire I'm about halfway through his collection at this point. when it comes to story telling ability and character development, he really is one of if not the best ever.
Thanks Julia you got me into reading Stephen king and now I've read the shining ,mr Mercedes and Carrie. You're one of my favourite CZcamsrs and my favourite booktuber. I'm planning on reading under the dome next
Julia if you haven't read The Stand yet then stop what ever you're doing and read it.... Is easily one of his best along with IT and The Dark Tower books.
I picked up Pet Sematary months ago, because I was curious and really wanted to get into Stephen King's books. However, I put it on hold so long that I've read like 15 books in the mean time. However, I suddenly got a huge pang of urge to read his book. I came up on CZcams to watch reviews of his books, and I stumbled upon your video. Kinda surprised that I watched the entire video, cause your content is amazing. Keep up the good work!
One of my favorite works of his that happens to be shorter is The Mist. I think it is so interesting to compare the book ending with the movie ending, and I used to recommend it to anyone wanting to read something of his for the first time. Misery and Dolores Claiborne are also very good! I used to read a lot of King
First time I see a booktuber that has YA books AND Stephen King books. A lot of booktubers have none of his books, even though they're so good! Read "It" in the summer and loved it. 👌🏼
I love your collection! ♥ I would really recommend under the dome it's incredibly fast-paced and different seasons the short stories in that are incredible especially apt pupil which actually got made into a film ages ago really recommend them! :)
Cujo is ok it’s not the best books in my opinion. I agree with you Carrie is not the best in my opinion. I love the shining it’s one of my favorite Stephen King books. I am disappointed that the book and movie were different though
My first Stephen King book was Cujo. It was in 1988 when I was 15. scared the crap out of me. I don't really like his work past the late nineties, it just isnt as good. Maybe it was his car accident that ruined his talent. But There are so many books of his that I can re-read that it doesnt really matter. Old books can be like visiting old friends.
@@JL-sw7mh I have tried his later books. They are garbage. I haven't read anything he's done in the last ten years, so I may give that a try. The last good thing he's written that I liked (of the top of my head) was The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. But books like Duma Key and Cell were complete trash. Under The Dome was the last straw for me. I was thinking of trying 11/22/63 though. It's hard to quit on King, because I know he has the talent to write amazing books. It just seemed like he ran out of gas for good stories in the late nineties.
@@jeffblack2458 right around the time he stopped the drugs lol. Nah I'm with you on Cell and Under the Dome, but definitely give 11/22/63 a go. Hulu also did an 8 part adaptation with James Franco based on that book and it was great. Deviated from the book somewhat, but still very enjoyable.
The Shining actually had two adaptations. The 1980 movie directed by Stanley Kubrick was a good film in it's own right but it wasn't a very loyal adaptation. The miniseries produced by Mr. Stephen King himself was much more loyal to the book and, in my opinion, creepier. They also used the real hotel that inspired him to write the book. However, ratings wise it flopped. So, it really just depends on your personal taste. If you are picky about movies sticking to source material like me, I'd recommend the 1995 miniseries. If you choose to watch it, be warned it's about five hours long though. :)
Hey I'm 20 so a little bit older than you id guess, I own 60 of Kings novels and have read 33 so far. I really haven't seen many booktubers mention King or really many adult novels... So your awesome :) So glad you love the Mr. Mercedes Trilogy I would recommend IT and as a starter King book Full Dark No Stars or The Green Mile (which is one of his less creepy novels)
My top three favorite King novels are Carrie, The Shining and Misery. I also love The Stand, It, The Dead Zone, Doctor Sleep, Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game (movie adaptation coming to Netflix later this year). Skeleton Crew is a good book too. It's a collection of creepy short stories. It features The Mist, which was adapted into a great movie.
My King collection atm: Revival Carrie Night Shift It The Bazaar of Bad Dreams Just After Sunset Pet Sematary The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon Salem's Lot The Shining Doctor Sleep Nightmares & Dreamscapes The Stand The Tommyknockers Dreamcatcher The Green Mile So far I've only read four and I'm currently about two-thirds done with the fifth (which is "It").
I just finishe reading IT. I did a video review of each chapter, and now I’m working on my review of the whole book. The Shining is my favorite book period.
I highly recommend Stephen King. It’s my favorite Stephen King book. I highly recommend it. I love Pet Sematary. I like the full dark, no stars which they have is the short stories. I have read Salem’s lot also and I thought it was really good. I highly recommend IT. It was super good. If you like Salem’s lot you’ll definitely like IT. I also read The Bag of Bones and I thought it was ok. My least favorite was Cujo though and Carrie. I didn’t like the girl with Tom Gordon though. I am planning on reading sleeping beauties, the dark tower series, the outsider and Christine as well. Thank you for showing this video. Any more videos of books you would like to show us?
I grew up on Stephen King. Still my favorite. I'd recommend "The Wind Through the Keyhole". You don't need to read the whole Dark Tower series to get it, and it stands alone..the real story is all it's own, it's a great read, and one of the best of his later works.
I think it's a good thing you don't want to watch The Shining, I'm with King on this one, most of the people who love the movie haven't read the book, I do know people who enjoyed both, personally, I didn't enjoy the film, not because it was different than the book, you actually see that a lot, it just doesn't stay faithful in the key parts. Nice vid, keep on reading King.
The Shining (movie) is awful as a book adaptation, but I still enjoyed watching it and I would say it's a very good film if you ignore how different it is from the book... also, The Stand is incredibly long but 100% worth the read if you haven't read it yet!
Hey, so I was wondering... Since you like King, have you read anything by Lovecraft? I've read the whole Cthulhu Mythos and I think it's one of the greatest fantasy/horror (although I wouldn't define it as actual horror, more as a mix between a fantasy and a thriller) I've ever read. I just found your channel and really like your content, keep it going!
The Shining is the best one in my opinion, but it is scary as hell. I didn't understand it entirely when I first watched it, but now, it's more clear. Good luck with your braces. I used to wear braces and went through a lot of pain but I had a gnarly mouth. I had to use the rubber bands, too.
hello everyone! thank you so much for watching:)
If you are wondering as to why some popular King books are not in this video, feel free to watch a more updated version: czcams.com/video/thxGyKqthVI/video.html :)
why didnt she have IT?
I must let you know Stephen King used a pseudonym once when he was in his twenties and while he wrote Carrie. He went by Richard Bachman.
His 5 books were Thinner, The Runnning Man, Roadwork, The Long Walk, and Rage.
I’m a freshman just getting into Stephen king, right now I’m reading The Shining but I’m almost done and I don’t know what other books I should read as a starter, what do you recommend?
i just started reading IT 😄🤡 My first stephen king!!!
How’d it go
You should read gwendys button box. Not very scary but it was my first too and I rate it 5,000%
SAMEEEEEE
Same!!!
I’m currently reading IT, it’s my first Stephen King novel so far. I love his writing style, so cool to read a book with so many more layers too it than just a killer clown.
Preston Lewis same here that’s the first book I’ve read from him and I’m currently reading 11/22/63
I just wanna say that it warms my heart to see a young person so enthusiastic about books and Stephen King :) Not that I'm very old (mid-thirties), but it's still nice to see that young people are fans of books, reading, and King! Keep on reading :)
thank you:))
Kids should have the right to read Stephen king like this if u are with me.
Iread it and im 10
I'm 12 and I read Stephen king
I'm twelve and I'm almost done with IT
I started HEARTS IN ATLANTIS when I was 13, now I'm 18 ... read 3 of his books so far ...
My favorite Stephen Kings books are
1. Needful things
2. Doctor Sleep
3. IT
4. The Shining
5. Misery
6. Pet Sematary

@Theboywholovesreading isn’t it so good?
@@melaniedownes1752: I saw the movie twice and I still don't get it. What's so great about the story? And what's with that throwing mud on someone's nice clean sheets hanging on the line?

If you don't know who Steven King is you have been living under a rock
I've read The Shining, Pet Sematary, 11/22/63, It and am currently reading The Stand.
IT is the first Stephen King book I have read and the only so far
Currently 320 pages in of reading IT. Absolutely love Stephen King I have 15 of his books. Nobody will ever top him.
ayee I'm on page 322 XD glad you love his work as well!
I loved 11/22/63! have you read it already? And you are right. It's so much more than just time travel and stopping assasination. It has one of the best romantic subplots I've ever read.
Marko my fucking favourite book from Stephen. this story is insane 😇
I recommend reading the body, or stand by me, whatever you call it. It’s not that scary but it’s ok.
Stephen Kind truly is one of the greatest writers
+tom Ska true
My sis said that with those braces u look like a cute vampire, kinda agree XDD. Love your channel!
She can bite ME if she wants. 😁
11.22.63 is utterly incredible! Get stuck in right now!!!

I love stephen king. Started with the Shining.
The Stand and the Dark Tower series is my favorite work from king.
I loved the shining and now I'm currently reading doctor sleep. So far it's really good
My first Stephen King book I read was Nightmares & Dreamscapes now I'm reading Carrie and about to get IT
My first Stephen King book was Carrie, when I was 11 years old (now 36). The second was IT, which scared the crap out of me. The third was Needful Things, then Dolores Claiborne when King started to change his writing style a bit.

Rose Madder was great too...wish they made a movie!
Have you read Pet Sematary?
@Roze Olifant...only bits and pieces, not all of it.
But I will one day. I’ve seen the original movie many times, though, and I might watch the new one.
I have 26 of his books. I got them all in a huge book haul from a yard sale for 40 dollars (I also got a ton of other books). And it was great.
that's awesome!!
I'm currently reading IT. I read some of Thinner, but never finished it because I borrowed it and my sister wanted it back. I bought 5 books to start: Misery, Dolores Claiborne, IT, Joyland and Insomnia.
i love the shining. you should read "It"

@@JuliaSapphire I am currently reading the shining

I have:
It
Three Dark Towers, The Wastelands, Wizard and Glass, The Dark Tower
Desperation
The Running Man
And Lisey’s Story.
So many more to collect.
The Stand was the first Stephen King book I read, when I was 17, his best as far as I'm concerned, my all time favourite. It's great that you haven't read it yet, you are in for a treat, enjoy.

it's so awesome to see a teen that reads so much. Your bookshelf behind you is life. Keep it up. Recreational reading is becoming an anomaly in this generation.
thanks so much lol
I read IT in 5 days...it took me entangled all 5 days long..awesome
That's very impressive I must say
Gaming with Jazz bravo. That’s what happens when you get lost in a book.

+recitador hah, thanks for the recs! :)
I have It, The Shining, The Stand, Mr. Mercedes, Pet Cemetery, The Mist, Needful Things, and Misery.
I have Dark Forces by Kirby McCauley, the book in which The Mist first appeared. Bought the paperback at a variety store in Toronto. Rare.
I love the us covers of king books, we have different covers here in the uk, im trying to collect every book in hardcover and getting shipped over from us. Your videos are cool :)
thanks :)
The STAND is LONG, the uncut release is about 1200 pages. But I finished it in about a week, it was so good.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
A week? Impossible!
what I love about books is finding them.I found all of Dan Brown's books in perfect condition from charity shops.Only 1 euro each.I couldn't believe it.People giving away great books like it's nothing lol..I have IT which I bought for 8.99, but i'm hoping to find more of Stephen's books for cheap in some charity shops.I used to hate reading but now as an adult, I love it.Anyway, great collection.
yess deals and thrift buys are my favs! thank u hah
The stand and IT are my favorites
Both huge.
Bag of Bones scared the shit out of me. Shinning scared the shit out me, I would read it when I valet, and I would be outside by myslef and felt like someone was watching me. What's your favorite short story of his?
Misery... just putting that out there. It’s my favorite novel of all time, just seeing the mind games between Annie and Paul is a thing of pure terror XD.
Facts, Misery is sooo good
I think a great prank would be to send a single copy of Misery to all your favorite authors. No letter, nothing but the book.
That happened to George R. R. Martin once. I think some fan was just messing with him.
You're my fav booktuber and the fact that you love Stephen makes me more in love.
+zahraa harb Aw thank you so much!:)
Julia Sapphire you deserve it.Trust me
It's not really an official series of books, but Needful Things, The Dead Zone, Cujo, and The Dark Half are all set (at least partially) in Castle Rock. That is my latest project.
+Daniel Huffman ou cool!!

I love Stephen King so much I can't wait for his next novel. He's inspired me
aw that's amazing!
The Stand is my favorite book of all time! 11.22.63 is my second favorite book.
I have Carrie, and the barns n Nobel exclusive Carrie, Salem’s Lot, and The Shinning, Pet Sematary And firestarter. I don’t have it but I did read it. My all time fav is Carrie I just finished reading it the third time yesterday? Now I’m reading Salem’s Lot good so far!

cool girls dig Stephen King
that's just fact
XD
You should see The Shining movie!
I think it’s interesting that you were afraid of dogs and chose to read cujo. I did the same thing with IT. I saw the 1990 adaptation when I was about 5 and it (obviously) scared the crap out of me and now I’m reading IT to see if I can get over my fear of clowns
You and Kramer.
The Shining movie is incredible. It does not really follow the book but I still recommend it. One of the greatest horror movies ever made.
+K3ITH Price Thanks for the recommendation and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
I love how passionate you are about King's work! I seriously need to read some of his books!
Haha thanks Holly! You definitely should ;)
Try 'It' it's terrifying. The pacing is so good you won't feel the bulk.
+raju maulick I'm really excited to read it!
You haven’t seen the shining and you’ve heard bad things about it?! It’s known as one of the best films of all time.
Stephen King doesn't like it. I thought it was okay, not nearly as scary as the book
Cristhine J it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t like it. It’s very known that he hates it. But the film is a masterpiece.
@@parkourguy4567 Too bad we have different opinions.
The movie it's good if you don't compare it with the book. If you go book vs movie, then the movie it's garbage like most of it's books adaptations.

I'm glad the series improves! Thank you :)
11/22/63 is such an amazing read, didn't even notice the size when I was reading
Glad you enjoyed it so much:D
Stephen King books here I also have.
*Carrie
*The Shining (And film)
*Cujo (And film)
*Salem's lot
*The Stand (And film)
If you like big books that are filled with emotional rollercoasters than you'll love IT! 😂✨
Cujo is one of my all time favourite books. Like top 5 for sure. I read it at christmas and I'm obsessed with it. Please read it again! It's so good!
+Tara Taillon omg that's awesome! Maybe I will;))
I’m currently reading IT
Carrie is actually his best work
+Jesse Hernandez glad you enjoyed it:)
Who else just watches king collection videos? XD
+ThatKidReacts ha me
only cuz I just started reading his books
My favorite is Cujo is because as a child my dog got rabies and we had to put him down😔
+Yaboi _ Aw I'm so sorry:(
thats sad 😢
I recently bought all the Dark Tower books in that format that you have, and I'm on the third book and I'm enjoying the hell out of them so far.
The Gunslinger is definitely the most vague. But they have only gotten better as I've went. You should definitely try and read them eventually.
Nice video:)
+Isaac Punch thank u! I am actually currently rereading The Gunslinger so I can continue with the rest of the series:)
"Needful Things" is one of his best ever, absolutely enthralling. "Under the Dome" is also a total masterpiece. the Dark Tower series is phenomenal, especially book 4 "wizard and glass". above all else, if you have yet to read "the stand" make it priority number one. the bachman books are pretty awesome as well.
+Christopher Seymour Glad you enjoyed so many of his books!! Thanks for watching :)
Julia Sapphire I'm about halfway through his collection at this point. when it comes to story telling ability and character development, he really is one of if not the best ever.
Thanks Julia you got me into reading Stephen king and now I've read the shining ,mr Mercedes and Carrie. You're one of my favourite CZcamsrs and my favourite booktuber. I'm planning on reading under the dome next
+Ben Parsons aw I'm so glad!! Thank you
Carrie was his first novel also read his book Geralds game, it's amazing, you need to go into it without knowing anything.
+Isaac Ceillam ou yes thanks for the rec
Julia if you haven't read The Stand yet then stop what ever you're doing and read it.... Is easily one of his best along with IT and The Dark Tower books.
haha I do need to read it soon
11-22-63 Is my favorite Stephen King book... Don’t wait... Read it... This book is so amazing!!
Just started reading King, since I had to work on it for one of mine creative classes. He is such a great writer.
+Fernando Manriquez yes yes he is!!:)
Salems lot is his best. Nothing comes close to it in terms of scariness.
I'm glad you liked it so much! It did have some creepy moments yess!
I picked up Pet Sematary months ago, because I was curious and really wanted to get into Stephen King's books. However, I put it on hold so long that I've read like 15 books in the mean time. However, I suddenly got a huge pang of urge to read his book. I came up on CZcams to watch reviews of his books, and I stumbled upon your video.

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks so much :D
I really liked The Shining, Dreamcatcher, and of course The Dark Tower.
Great video :D
+kurodutch thank you!!:)
One of my favorite works of his that happens to be shorter is The Mist. I think it is so interesting to compare the book ending with the movie ending, and I used to recommend it to anyone wanting to read something of his for the first time. Misery and Dolores Claiborne are also very good! I used to read a lot of King
+Christina Woosley I read The Mist recently and was OK for me . I'm interested in seeing the movie and the Netflix series soon :)
I just bought The Talisman for 53 cents at a library sale.
The Shining and IT are my favourites. Honestly Stephen King is the best
+Dan's sad dimple truth
Im reading IT right now...my first sk novel..Ive got 100 pages left to go
First time I see a booktuber that has YA books AND Stephen King books. A lot of booktubers have none of his books, even though they're so good! Read "It" in the summer and loved it. 👌🏼
+BlackDiamond LOL yeahh! Glad you loved It, thanks for watching :)
I love your collection! ♥ I would really recommend under the dome it's incredibly fast-paced and different seasons the short stories in that are incredible especially apt pupil which actually got made into a film ages ago really recommend them! :)
+Eva Cassidy thank you Eva!!
Cujo is ok it’s not the best books in my opinion. I agree with you Carrie is not the best in my opinion. I love the shining it’s one of my favorite Stephen King books. I am disappointed that the book and movie were different though
Carrie IS the best! It was mindblowingly great!
My first Stephen King book was Cujo. It was in 1988 when I was 15. scared the crap out of me. I don't really like his work past the late nineties, it just isnt as good. Maybe it was his car accident that ruined his talent. But There are so many books of his that I can re-read that it doesnt really matter. Old books can be like visiting old friends.
Jeff Black you’re right, they can
You should give his later work a go if you haven't. 11/22/63, The Outsider and The Institute are fantastic books of his from the last ten years.
@@JL-sw7mh I have tried his later books. They are garbage. I haven't read anything he's done in the last ten years, so I may give that a try. The last good thing he's written that I liked (of the top of my head) was The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. But books like Duma Key and Cell were complete trash. Under The Dome was the last straw for me. I was thinking of trying 11/22/63 though. It's hard to quit on King, because I know he has the talent to write amazing books. It just seemed like he ran out of gas for good stories in the late nineties.
@@jeffblack2458 right around the time he stopped the drugs lol. Nah I'm with you on Cell and Under the Dome, but definitely give 11/22/63 a go. Hulu also did an 8 part adaptation with James Franco based on that book and it was great. Deviated from the book somewhat, but still very enjoyable.
The Shining actually had two adaptations. The 1980 movie directed by Stanley Kubrick was a good film in it's own right but it wasn't a very loyal adaptation. The miniseries produced by Mr. Stephen King himself was much more loyal to the book and, in my opinion, creepier. They also used the real hotel that inspired him to write the book. However, ratings wise it flopped. So, it really just depends on your personal taste. If you are picky about movies sticking to source material like me, I'd recommend the 1995 miniseries. If you choose to watch it, be warned it's about five hours long though. :)
+Justin Bundy Oh wow! I didn't know that, thanks!
Hey I'm 20 so a little bit older than you id guess, I own 60 of Kings novels and have read 33 so far. I really haven't seen many booktubers mention King or really many adult novels... So your awesome :)
So glad you love the Mr. Mercedes Trilogy I would recommend IT and as a starter King book Full Dark No Stars or The Green Mile (which is one of his less creepy novels)
damn that''s a good ratio! ayeee thanks :)
I do need to read "It" so bad ah. Thanks for watching ^.^
i haven't read any of his book and really wanna read so this was actually very helpful thank you
I found it very helpful too, as i haven't red an of his book before either! :)
+quinn king I'm glad you enjoyed thank uu!
I highly recommend to not see the movie 1408 it wasn’t the best
started my collection yesterday w/ revival. totally sucked me in, will not disappoint!!
woo good luck!!:)
My top three favorite King novels are Carrie, The Shining and Misery. I also love The Stand, It, The Dead Zone, Doctor Sleep, Dolores Claiborne and Gerald's Game (movie adaptation coming to Netflix later this year). Skeleton Crew is a good book too. It's a collection of creepy short stories. It features The Mist, which was adapted into a great movie.

+mike79p thank you for watching! Enjoy marathoning the dark tower series :)
I love the shining alot and reading IT now too
David Laguna same
I just finishe reading IT. I did a video review of each chapter, and now I’m working on my review of the whole book. The Shining is my favorite book period.
I highly recommend Stephen King.
It’s my favorite Stephen King book. I highly recommend it. I love Pet Sematary. I like the full dark, no stars which they have is the short stories. I have read Salem’s lot also and I thought it was really good. I highly recommend IT. It was super good. If you like Salem’s lot you’ll definitely like IT. I also read The Bag of Bones and I thought it was ok. My least favorite was Cujo though and Carrie. I didn’t like the girl with Tom Gordon though. I am planning on reading sleeping beauties, the dark tower series, the outsider and Christine as well. Thank you for showing this video. Any more videos of books you would like to show us?
I grew up on Stephen King. Still my favorite. I'd recommend "The Wind Through the Keyhole". You don't need to read the whole Dark Tower series to get it, and it stands alone..the real story is all it's own, it's a great read, and one of the best of his later works.
Thanks for the rec, glad you loved it so much:D
my favorite is the shinning, mostly because it was based on a real hotel not to far from here.
+nico and friends nice glad you enjoyed it!!
Have you tried The Stand??
If you did , please make a review😄😄😄😄😄
+narmin yassin I haven't read it yet lol:)
U should see the movie of the shining its a great movie but they just missed stuff from the book
I think it's a good thing you don't want to watch The Shining, I'm with King on this one, most of the people who love the movie haven't read the book, I do know people who enjoyed both, personally, I didn't enjoy the film, not because it was different than the book, you actually see that a lot, it just doesn't stay faithful in the key parts.
Nice vid, keep on reading King.
Aw sucks that you didn't like the film. ;/ Thanks for watching, and yes I shall lmao ;)
oh my god, i started reading Mr. Mercedes yesterday and I think it may end up being my new favorite King novel.
+Andrew Smith yayyyy!!!:)
Hi ya Gorgie
The Shining (movie) is awful as a book adaptation, but I still enjoyed watching it and I would say it's a very good film if you ignore how different it is from the book... also, The Stand is incredibly long but 100% worth the read if you haven't read it yet!
+Greylyn Gaillard oh I see, thanks for sharing your thoughts:))
The very first book I had read from Stephen King was The Green Mile and I fell in love...
The stand has to be one my favorite King books, very much recommended.
Hey, so I was wondering... Since you like King, have you read anything by Lovecraft? I've read the whole Cthulhu Mythos and I think it's one of the greatest fantasy/horror (although I wouldn't define it as actual horror, more as a mix between a fantasy and a thriller) I've ever read. I just found your channel and really like your content, keep it going!
Corrado Canepari H.P Lovecraft is a an amazing author and I think we could relate a lot
+Corrado Canepari I actually haven't gotten into Lovecraft! I really want to though especially because I am a major Poe fan as well! Thank you:)
The best book IT
Elena Avelar I agree YOU’LL FLOAT TOO
The Shining is the best one in my opinion, but it is scary as hell. I didn't understand it entirely when I first watched it, but now, it's more clear.
Good luck with your braces. I used to wear braces and went through a lot of pain but I had a gnarly mouth. I had to use the rubber bands, too.
I love the novel so much omg! haha thank u XD
