I read a good Stephen King
the other day. I'm not generally impressed but this one was good

see below
generally the only books I rate by him at all are Lisey's Story, Cell and The Long Walk

"Salems Lot" and "Pet Semetary" are my favourites
Two books that actually manage to be scary

Try the books he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman - particularly Rage if you can get hold of it.

The Long Walk I think.

That's a good one.
Rage is difficult to get - he withdrew it following the Colombine massacre. You can get hold of it secondhand though.

My sister owns all the Bachman books in one volume
was Rage the one about the kid who shot his teachers?

wasn't that impressed
it was too unbelievable
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 25 Aug 2010, 16:47, Reply)
Children can be vicious & gang up on others quite savagely so I didn't think it was that unbelievable.

too short an amount of time
and besides how the hell would that make someone's mind crack?
(I helped save b3ta! Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 25 Aug 2010, 16:52, Reply)
I think that character was already close to cracking due to having an alcoholic mother.

hm didn't make sense
children are pretty resilient, and the abuse/what was done simply wasn't enough to make the boy crack
