A few good stories 17 July 2004
Format:Paperback
I just recently read this book and although I really enjoyed the stories The Langoliers, Secret Window Secret Garden, and The Sun Dog I didn't really enjoy The Library Policeman. I thought it was a bit off the wall, and not in a good way. However I do rate this book 4 stars because of the other 3 good stories in the book. The Langoliers is one of the most interesting short stories I've ever read. I would definitely reccommend this book.

Very good 12 Sep 2011
Format:Paperback
Yet another excellent collection of horror stories from Stephen King. If you've enjoyed his other books then you will certainly enjoy these.

Three of the stories are King at his best. Unfortunately, I found the first tale, The Langoliers, to be a bit too ludicrous to get into. It's like one of those ridiculous Airport movies only with a supernatural twist. I suppose that's what he intended but it just doesn't work as well as the other stories in this book and is why I can only give it a 4 star rating.

The remaining three tales are gripping, unrelenting and beautifully logical. Some terrific characters, my favourite being Pop Merrill, a conniving Castle Rock trader who'll stoop to nothing to make a fast buck.

There are certainly traces of his other books here with Sun Dogs reminiscent of Needful Things; Secret Window, Secret Garden (made into a film starring Johnny Depp) along the same lines as The Dark Half and The Library Policeman reminding me of Insomnia and to a certain extent IT.

Highly recommended.

Format:Paperback
King brings us another book of short stories (except these are rather longer than usual). These stories are really some of Kings best work (but isn't all his work). The First Story 'The Langoliers' is an excellent story about a plane journey back through time of 15 minutes. And we find out what King thinks happens to the past....SO well written! The second story 'Secret Window,Secret Garden' is about a famous writer, who one day receives a call at his door by a man claming he stole his short story. Our writer protests he didn't but that's not good enough for JOHN SHOOTER...Brilliant twist at the end! 'The Libary Police' is the third story but this synopsis is getting to long, so let me just say both the next two stories ('The Sun Dog' being the final one) are both REALLY good, and King as usual writes to scare the pants off of you. I still haven;t read a King book i don't like
