I really got turned off after Insomnia, which cured mine. I tried the one about the cell phones, but I didn't like that one either. I've been told this one and Under the Dome are good, I'm a little scared though. One of these days I may have to give it a try.

Some of King's other books really disturbed me back in high school and I'm afraid I have been shying away from him ever since. I guess they were well written as I can still recall the nightmares a few of them left me with. My husband is a big fan though and we own tons of his books, so should I ever decide to read one I have lots at hand!Jill Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296890779922143900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-82836406489710182372011-09-25T09:27:03.212-04:002011-09-25T09:27:03.212-04:00You had me at near death experiences!

As a book lover, I'm embarrassed to admit that. I loved Stephen King when I was young but I haven't picked him up for awhile. Maybe over Christmas break.
