Misery or IT.

Insomnia or IT for me. But Misery the novel blew me away; tried to read it and focus on the craft. Looked up at the pagenumber and 80 pages had gone by in a blink.

I loved Insomnia and Misery as well! I also really loved Revival. Honestly, there's too many good ones.

Also enjoyed Revival and The Outsider. Kinda done with Holly though I have to admit (have not read his newest of those). King is better at story than plot, and I find the crime-aspect drag them down a little.

More interested in him writing about normal folks getting pulled into a mystery through specific and unique motivations instead of "I am a private investigator and this is my case". They're not bad though.

I agree. They lost steam after THE OUTSIDER.
