Is Stephen King's "Insomnia" Any Good?
Anonymous Coward User ID: 34272879 United States 05/25/2014 06:38 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Is Stephen King's "Insomnia" Any Good? Horror is my favorite genre, but I've always thought King to be terribly overrated. However, he is the only horror author that can be found in the public libraries in my area. Skimming through the plot summaries of some of his books that are available, I find that "Insomnia" looks to be the only one that may be of interest to me. Have you read it? Is it any good? Does it carry on the rich King tradition of embarrassingly awful final chapters?

Too much bloviation and extraneous bullshit for my taste. He does like to use paragraphs where sentences would do. I used to be a hardcore fan of SK back in the day, but I don't think his stories improve as time marches on.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 58500213 ^^ Don't listen to this joker, damn Brits think Emily Bronte was a great author. This was a pretty good book and one of my favortes from SK. It opens up some interesting concepts about perception and the thin veil that separates our "reality" from the next. While it's nothing epic and certainly not his best, it's worth a read! (It also loosely ties in with the Dark Tower series) 8/10

Great insight into time and meaning of life. The youngster said angrily " If our founding Fathers could see what is going on, they would roll over in their graves!" The Ol'Timer shook his head and smiled. " No, they would be grabbing their guns". WANT CHANGE??? Quit paying your income tax.
