  1. The end of Christine was well done I will admit.

    The Dark Half, kinda. George didn't deserve to go down like that.

    IT, The Stand, Tommyknockers, Long Walk, Road Work, Salems Lot, The Shining (oh my God, the ending) THE ENTIRE DARK TOWER SERIES - What a cop out, Dead Zone, Dreamcatcher ( I threw the book across the room) have all crap endings.

    Thinner was one of his finer endings.

    If course this is my opinion.

    I do know what you mean, he is a story teller and you get the sense he just doesnt want to stop telling the the story even if a book should have eneded 20 pages before.

    That said I liked the endings to IT and The Stand. I agree with you on Dreamcatcher. Thinner had an awsome ending as did Cujo and Misery and the Mist were pretty well done.

  2. He just can't finish a book to save his life.

    Should take some tips from his son, as "Heart Shaped Box" was great.

    Harsh, most of his books have great endings, christine, it and the dark half in particular. In under the dome you can see where he stopped 25 years ago and restarted.

    I dont think the stand and tommy knockers is right, its too easy, just because of the alien thing. For me its more like a cross between needfull things [ perfect view of small town usa] and the stand.

  3. I was just about to say that I've read Trainspotting & the follow up Porno.

    Both excellent books and I would hearlty suggest to anyone who's seen the film to read the book. As is usually the case the film misses out loads of parts in the book. At first I was put off by the book being wrote in a Scottish accent but after awhile I got used to it :tu:

    The follow Porno imo is just as good as Trainspotting - this book is slightly easier to read than Trainspotting as there is not as much Scottish lingo in. A must read book though!

    I'm looking forward to the prequel 'Skagboys' to be released sometime this year :)

    Two other good reads by Welsh are Glue and confessions of a masterchef.
