I hadn’t read The Eyes of the Dragon since I was in University. I remembered that I really enjoyed the book, and it seemed to be a sort of ‘fantasy’ novel. I had and still have no taste for the works of authors like David Eddings, but for some ...
Pros: Well developed characters, a step away from his normal gory writing Cons: For what it is, there really aren't any cons
Once, in a kingdom called Delain, there was a King with two sons. So begins Stephen King’s attempt to fulfill his then-thirteen-year-old daughter’s request for a story ‘without vampires and ghoulies.’ The Eyes of the Dragon is as ...
Pros: great story! Cons: not typical King, if that's what you're looking for
Thanks to TheUnknown285 for hosting the third Stephen King Write-Off! I first fell in love with Stephen King's books when I was about 14 years old. During a layover on a flight to San Francisco, our plane was delayed for 7 hours. I spent that time ...
Pros: A marvelous, mesmerizing change-of-pace story by Stephen King Cons: none whatsoever
One of the things I like about Stephen King is his versatility as a storyteller. Yes, he focuses on horror and the supernatural -- telekinetic teenagers, vampires, creatures from other dimensions and even a really "killer" flu -- and is therefore not ...
Pros: Light reading. Good action. Well paced story. Cons: Doesn't fit the "fantasy" genre very well.
When I was a kid, I was a voracious reader. Most of the stuff I read was in the “fantasy” genre, although occassionally I would branch out into other areas of literature. I read Tokein, Eddings, Weiss & Hickman, Donaldson, Brooks, and so on. Each of ...
Pros: Story telling at its best Cons: Departure from usual King fare (though that's a pro for me)
I’m not a Stephen King fan. In fact, I’ve only read three of his books: The Stand, The Green Mile, and The Eyes of the Dragon. When I was in junior high, one of my friends was reading Carrie. I read about three pages...
Pros: Narration, Pace, Socio-political commentary, Characters, Excitement, Good for most ages and tastes Cons: It took me four years to finally get around to reading it.
Things have not gone so well between Stephen King and myself since I read Bag of Bones four or five years ago. It took me at least three months to get through Dreamcatcher, a disgusting and boring novel. Next, came Desperation ...
Pros: interesting story from King Cons: not one of his best works, but still good
For as long as I can remember, Stephen King has been my favorite author. Sure, I’ve also loved C. S. Lewis’s work, but I never stumbled upon him until college. I’ve also always enjoyed John Grisham, but he’s not been around all that long. No, Stephen...
Pros: Great King fiction, but set in medieval times for a change. Page-turner! Cons: None to mention. Kings works his writing magic yet again!
When most general readers hear the name Stephen King, they think of cult classic horror stories like "Carrie" or "Christine". Even fans of King's work may not realize he has also written an intriguing tale of medieval kings and wizards! "The ...
Pros: great break from horror, SK is great, artwork, etc. Cons: ending is rushed and sucks
I’m a huge Stephen King fan, so when he came out with Eyes of The Dragon, I was ecstatic with happiness. Eyes of the Dragon, first off, is not a horror book like SK is known for, it’s a fairy tale/science fiction/fantasy book that is more into...
Pros: Detailed storytelling, great story for the imaginative Cons: Somewhat clichéd, character development "skipped" over in places
Let's get one thing straight. Steven King is, for the most part, a storyteller for adults who like blood and guts. I never read any of his books because I saw a gory on-screen adaptation in my youth and was rather quickly turned off. But when I was...
Wow. Stephen King trying to write a fantasy. That's like Britney Spears trying to rap, or Backstreet Boys trying to write a good song. It's just not going to happen A medicore fantasy would be the best of his ability, but of course there would be...
Pros: Decent Character development, Interesting plot in some places, The end didn't disappoint me. Excellent detail. Cons: Predictable, the plot drags in some places.
There are precious few books that I will be so enthralled in, so deep, that I will keep reading them without stop until they are finished.
I have to say this is not one of them. It took me a while to finish this one simply because it lost my...
Pros: An atypical story by an excellent author Cons: Not another one like it by King
Originally, King starts out in his notes to this book that his daughter wanted to read something that wasn't all ghouls and ghosts and, well, typical King horror stuff. Changing genres, King presents a fantastic story that is truly a pleasure to...
Pros: good story line, great plot, wonderful characters. Cons: it ended.
Talk about a change of pace. I've always loved King for his horror. And my other love is fantasy. This is the best of two worlds. When a friend of mine told me that King had writen a fantasy, I was intrigued. And the book lived up to my...
