It's probably been 18 years since I read anything of his though.
I really liked the Shining...the BOOK. the Nicholson version of the movie...it's good, don't get me wrong, and I do like it....but they left out the hedge animals and the twins were not a big part of the book and the ending wasn't the same....and we're over to the Steven Weber version of the Shining...the made for TV mini-series and it is OUTSTANDING! great great stuff. they showed that on prime time TV and when the green rotted lady got out of the bathtub I was thinking....holy SHIT! kids could be watching this!
good stuff.

King was actually the executive producer of the tv mini-series and I absolutely agree it was OUTSTANDING,finally told the way the author wrote it.

I've never taken the time to research....but I heard a long time ago the King supposedly started a law suit against.....whoever....about the Nicholson version of the movie.

I was very disappointed in many things about it...the hedge animals are just badass, yet left out in place of a stupid hedge maze.....but the ENDING was just so ****ed up in the movie I about blew a gasket. they simply took a ton of incredibly heart felt emotion...and threw it in the trash.

the book & Steven Weber ending just makes you want to cry man! it's so ****ing AWESOME.

Spoiler!

Don't know about a lawsuit but I have heard him say he was very disappointed in Stanley Kubrick's vision of his book.

I'm cautiously optimistic on this one. Network TV typically fails on these shows that require a real story or they get cancelled. The reviews seem positive. If it's successful they'll likely try to stretch it into way too many seasons though.

The book is long but I honestly think it could be a 2 season show easily.

That is one reason I am hesitant to start watching it. I am afraid that it will never really have a conclusion, at least not in a timely manner.

I was really excited when Falling Skies first came out but that show just dragged on and on with much of most of the episodes not really having anything happen. I have that fear of this show even though when I first saw previews in the theaters I was pretty excited for it.

Probably mentioned it earlier but I'm with you on the book. It sucked and is the only SK book I haven't been able to finish (though Wizard and Glass may be the second).

Agree with you on the ending of The Mist, too.

Could be. It's a long-ass book.

It wasn't my favorite King novel by any stretch. But I was really drawn into the world. And I loved the characters (even the ones I hated). But King's always been good at that stuff.

I've said a number of times (in other threads) that I really like the book until the last 100 pages. Then it's just a disaster.

Isn't that most of his books? Granted I quit reading his stuff years ago, but it seems like he creates these intricate, all-powerful villains and then at some point realizes he needs an ending and there is no logical way his hero can win. So he just slaps some stupid shit together and calls it a day.

Much like me playing chess, his endgame sucks.
