This is a question Books

We love books. Tell us about your favourite books and authors, and why they are so good. And while you're at it - having dined out for years on the time I threw Dan Brown out of a train window - tell us who to avoid.

I learned the Stephen King lesson with the Tommyknockers
I realised I could read the first, say, 10 chapters then skip to the last 10 chapters and absolutely nothing of import had happened in the intervening three-quarters of the book.

For my GCSE's I wrote about how brilliant King was.
I wrote about 'It' and 'Pet Cemetery'.

I reread both at Uni. They aren't actually very good.

"It" would be quite good if you took out "it" altogether
it would be a decent, medium-length novel about a bunch of kids growing up, going their separate ways and then getting together later in life.

Gosh.
That'd be riveting.
