    Revival is one of the BEST Stephen King books I've read so far. I highly recommend it. It's a rollercoaster of a story but you will not want to put it down I finished it in 3 days.

    My first book was fairy tale. I was blown away by his style of writing and his plot and character development.
    Then I read Holly, 11//22/63, shining and misery after and several more
    Great video!

      11/22/63 is an awesome read! I should have included it as an honourable mention. Thanks for the comment!

    Great to discover your channel. IT is awesome! The Dark Tower series is my favorite of all time! Jimmy Mango is indeed an awesome booktuber. I really enjoyed the Mr Mercedes Trilogy, as well as The Outsider, but not as much as his horror novels. A group recently did a read through of all Holly books in order and we had live chats. That was fun! The book and movie of The Green Mile was sublime. Great video man, subscribed!

      I read all the Holly books last summer. It was a fun time! I can only imagine how much fun it would have been to have live chats with others who are also reading it. I need to find a book club lol 😂

    Insomnia is one of my all time favorites. I don’t know why more people don’t suggest it. Also, under the dome is a masterpiece. I tend to like most of what he writes but these two are tops imo.

      @@NoDetourAhead I haven’t read Insomnia yet (i’m really looking forward to reading it soon). I read Under The Dome this year, and man was it an epic ride! I really enjoyed it.
      Like I said at the end of the video, it’s impossible for me to include everyone’s favourites by him. Some of the books I mentioned on this list (i.e., Carrie, The Talisman, and Mr. Mercedes) are not my favourites by him, but rather a good starting point for beginners, in my opinion.

    Hello, I found your channel through Cliff's Dark Gems. I have a new booktube channel too.
    I just finished The Shinning and I loved it. So much more to the story than in the movie.
    I plan on reading It this October. I've heard good things about it.
    I loved The Dark Tower series. I was sad when it ended.

      Nah you’re actually delusional or puerile my friend. Duma Key, Under The Dome, 11/22/63, Joyland, Mr Mercedes, Revival. And some short stories out of you like it darker are all outstanding, my only single complaint about his writing is politics bleed into the story sometimes.
