Which is the best Stephen King book?

[Counselor]

I never read Carrie, but I watched the movie for the first time last night, and I think I realize why his books translate so poorly: screenplay writers that adapt his books want to be true to the story, when in fact a film functions better when the horror comes as an inexplicable surprise...it's one thing to read a book and know that something bad is about to happen to someone that doesn't know, it's another thing to watch it happen without the narrative for support.

My favorites from Stephen King, let's see... I'd say Rose Madder, The Shining, Pet Sematary and the Stand, for example.

Dolores Claiborne and the movie does respect the books... it was with Kathy Bates if I remember well

I like the Stand too... but damn does he had to drivel so long on that Shamen woman... that part of the book and the movie was so long I preferred watching Donald Duck in between lol

Oh yes, I agree with you on that!

The Stand was one of my all time favourite reads, i loved its epic scale.

The langoliers is my favourite Novella of his.
