I haven't read much King, this is actually only the second book I've read by him (the first being Gunslinger). I've always wanted to get into him though, and I think this was the perfect book to start with. Fourteen short stories, a King smorgasbord, so to speak. Some I loved, some I just liked, some just weren't my thing - but overall it was a great collection. Every one was well written, and even if a story wasn't my favorite, I still found myself enjoying it. Highly recommended, and I'll definitely be reading more King soon.

Another one of King's writings that I read in my summer of early high school. I couldn't tell you any of the stories, but I do remember enjoying the read.

Opzich prima boek! Aantal verhalen waar ik niet door heen kwam, aantal verhalen die wat te abstract vond, maar vooral de laatste waren toppers waarbij ik niet meer kon stoppen met lezen! : De man in het zwarte pak, de kleine zusters van Eluria, alles is eventueel, het wegvirus rijd naar het noorden, en achtbaan! Las dit boek eigenlijk voor 1408! Al vond ik dat verhaal een beetje tegen vallen. Ik kijk volgende keer gewoon weer de film.. ;)
