Just read "Before I Go To Sleep".
Bleh.
Glad I didn't buy it (I read Mum's copy)
I read it in one evening for a start.
And I certainly wouldn't read it again.
Currently trudging through "Under the Dome"
I actually flicked to the back to see who survives. I think I've only done that with 2 or 3 books in my life. It's a bloated, turgid read which nevertheless heaps atrocity upon atrocity. I read somewhere it was Orwellian. Ha ha ha. It's ten times the length of any of his books with a tenth of the depth.
I like Stephen King. I don't expect him to be George Orwell.
I often need to reread his books again a few years later because something in them has resonated with me. Or a phrase or description sticks in my head. But it helps to know the end; he's longer any good at suspense.
