Stephen King
Okay, so I know that he isn't ya, but he is a good author. Some of my fav stuff from him are:
Insomnia
The Shining
Thinner
Bag of Bones
Christine
Cujo
Just to name a few.
Any Stephen King lovers out there? Or haters?

I used to think his stuff was awesome. But I watched IT again recently and I thought it was so lame.

okay...here's what i think...i love his older stuff...Needlful Things, the Gunslinger, "Salems Lot (my favourite!) and Carrie...but he's running out
of idea's. I find his new stuff is really long and complicated...Like Leslie's Story...sorry if you liked it...but i found it too long and there were
too many...umm flashbacks to follow. I kept getting confused on where I was...he is a great and timeless author but his older classics are the best
("Salems Lot!!  )

I've only 1 and half of his stuff so far. I like that he explores the darker side of humanity. But haven't read enough to properly judge.

I used to be a HUGE fan... I loved Firestarter, the Stand, the Shining, the Green Mile Tommyknockers, and his short stories seem to be good too. I
havent picked up any of his new stuff in a long time... Is any of it any good?

Big fan of old Stephen King. It is YA in a way. Haven't read any recent books. Are they good?

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon isn't technically a YA novel, but it could be. The age of the protagonist and the straight forward story make it an
enjoyable read. King can sometimes be wordy and ramble, but The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a little more spare and direct. Good book.
