My first Stephen king disappointment. ITS hard to rate a short story collection, however I only found about 4 stories enjoyable and memorable. I originally picked this up for the monkey to compare to the movie. I loved that story. I also loved the mist! I have seen the movie adaptation a handful of times and was excited to finally read it! Other stories I liked was the story about the boy left alone with his grandmother and the very last story. If anything, read it for the mist and the monkey
