What do you get when you mix a hard boiled cop chasing a serial killer, a psychological thriller and a touch of horror?.Before you answer, consider a bit of romance and twists and turns that you'll never see coming. What a book, what a ride! All I can say is WOW...

Stephen King remains one of the best story tellers out there.  His imagination soars out of the confines of this world and into a sea of mystery, intrigue, and fright.  How fun.  This was a re-read for me having first read this title many years ago.  Stephen King has recently published a follow up book and I wanted to refresh my memory before reading the sequel.  I recall the fright that shook my soul the first time around and now I've been shaken again.  The Shining is just a classic scary book and King is king at writing them.  So, if you've never read The Shining and you enjoy the scary mysterious stuff, you should order it without delay.  Then you'll be ready for "Doctor Sleep."  Good luck!

The reference to The Shining in the headline is no accident.  This book is Wilson's haunted house novel, much like The Shining was Stephen King's haunted novel.  Both books have a Jack in them, child ghosts, and of course, a haunted abode.  Both novels are also suspenseful and riveting.

Long time readers of Wilson's series will devour this book, but first-timers can pick it up and enjoy the story as a self-contained single entity.

A very impressive work by F. Paul Wilson.

This is a pretty good short story. It's classic King, in which you know something bad is going to happen, but can't help but watch as characters meet their demise at the hands of a very peculiar enemy. It is a fairly quick read 20-30 minutes for most readers, but you'll be entertained the whole way.
The only reason it doesn't get a full 5 stars is because i find it a little irritating that King feels he has to insert contemporary cultural references as if to show he's still relevant (he mentions Justin Bieber, Ipads, Words with Friends, etc).
We know you're a top notch writer Stevie, no need to go at lenghts to show that you know what's "cool" and relevant today.

Another GREAT Stephen King book. His short or not so short stories are always worth reading at least once.

Stephen King does not disappoint in this suspenseful and creative time travel story.  I am guessing this will end up as a movie.

My favorite author takes on another story and keeps me on the edge of my seat again. Although not as scary as some of Stephen King's books, this was still a very good read. And no matter the story line, Stephen always creates such real characters. You can almost feel them, see them and (sometimes) be them. That is why I have read every Stephen King book since Carrie.  And there is more depth to these characters and the story than appears on the surface, depth that keeps me thinking long after I have finished the book. Keep 'em coming, Stephen.

I swear that the monster I had in my head was so much scarier than that Tim Curry clown on the mini-series.  Good book.  Scary and typical Stephen King with a supernatural ending.

"Creep Show" comes to mind!
Send this to Stephen King!
Great job Steve!
Sounds like this could've had a slight reference to a particular bully we grew up with...

I love Stephen King's writings, so I admit to a bit of partiality here.  I found this to be a different writing style for Mr. King, pleasantly different.  Great suspense building, as always. Give it a read, you won't be disappointed.

Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman, may have released this novel under a pseudonym for good reason.  While King's work is never terrible, THINNER certainly isn't his best.  Nonetheless, it is worth a read - but only for a true King fan.  I don't think I'm a loyal King fan yet, but with works like THE STAND and PET SEMATARY, I think I am well on my way.
THINNER is about an overweight lawyer named William Halleck.  Despite the fact his doctor has warned him he's nearing heart attack territory, other aspects of life are better.  He's got a good job and earns a living that is more than adaquete.  He has a wonderful wife and despite the fact he's a big guy, the two of them have an active sex life.  Billy also has a 14 year-old daughter named Linda with whom he is quite close.  Besides the weight issue, life is just peachy for Billy Halleck.
Until the gypsy's curse.  He accidentally hits and kills the 75 year-old gypsy daughter and her family, including her 106 year-old father, yearn for revenge.  So now, Billy is losing weight at a drastically alarming rate of about 9 or more pounds a week.  He's being erased off the face of the earth, pound by pound.  If he enlists the help of friend and Three Brothers restaurant owner Ginelli, will the livid, vengeance-seeking gyspsies surrender and remove their curse?  Or will Billy eventually waste away to nothing but skin and bones?
Eh.  I read on and found out.  But if I hadn't, the suspense wouldn't have killed me, if you get the gist of what I'm saying.
"THINNER" is not as remarkable as other reads by King - and not nearly as memorable.  Usually, his novels boast well-developed characters and an exhilarating plot filled with twists and turns.  With the exception of the ending, I found this book to be more predictable than his others.
Whatever.  You can't expect the man to churn out continuous hit after hit, can you?

I would recommend this to all King fans.
Stephen King is brilliant as always! Suspenseful and thrilling, I couldn't put it down.

Authors new to publishing on KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) are given two important pieces of advice if they want to make their book stand out from the crowd: have an attractive cover and an attention-getting title. Of course, if you're Stephen King you don't need either of these things to get people to click on your book to find out what its about. However, look at the title here  11/22/63. Either you recognise immediately the date as the day President John F Kennedy was assassinated, or you wonder what the title could possibly mean. In both cases youll be hooked. And you won't be disappointed. And don't worry, this is not another conspiracy theory story. Its about time travel. Stop, don't go! Dont say, Im not interested in science fiction; Im not either, but Stephen Kings special story telling skills made me believe this could happen (or perhaps wish it could happen). I guarantee the ending will make you feel good.

Wesley Thomas is the up and coming horror author to watch. Not since I read Tommyknockers when I was 12 have I been so frightened by a a book. This collection of stories covers the gamut of fears, and Thomas' writing finds a way to worm it's way into your brain. Scenes will haunt you for a long time after you have read this book.

The search for the next Stephen King can stop here. Wesley Thomas has ably picked up the mantle and I cannot wait until we have a new book from this fresh talent.

I am used to Stephen King writing ghost and Horror stories but this tale of a crazed killer and a crime tale will hold your interest.

I love almost all of what Stephen King has written.  When I heard this was coming on TV, I had to order the book and read it first.  Excellent book.  Movie a little different, but good.  Again, book is excellent.
