That's one of the basic reasons that I love his books. The way he can make you agree and think like and sympathize with even the 'bad guys' is kind of cool!<br />I guess I'm going to have to read this one now :)<br /><br />PriyaPriyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671631876416310280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-87876529888275258522010-09-14T05:31:34.153-07:002010-09-14T05:31:34.153-07:00Unfortunately not read that, sorry. :( Is it a goo...Unfortunately not read that, sorry. :( Is it a good book?Sakhi Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140147799115440477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-37659732021782054012010-09-13T09:13:47.027-07:002010-09-13T09:13:47.027-07:00hey my friend, if you have read 'The Artist...hey my friend, if you have read 'The Artist's Way' by Julia Camron, could you please send me the link of review :)Deepakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05939459735836126803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-59078714060498950492010-09-13T01:24:50.823-07:002010-09-13T01:24:50.823-07:00Hey Aanal,

I mean some of the stories in this volume are just brilliant, but there are some like the baseball ones that I've still not been able to go through...but overall he's still miles ahead of almost anyone else I've read in the genre. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your compliment.

And in this recent while, I'd forgotten what an amazing writer King really is. And with this book, it was once again reminded, that he's just so prolific, and he's a true craftsman. There were some terrific stories in this collection, along with a few that were just too over the top and a couple of clunkers. But overall, I was surprised at how quickly and enthusiastically I tore through this thick volume. <br /><br />Also, a very good review by a very good reviewer of a very good book! ;)Er.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11225359974373760374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-9971141518437769682010-09-11T08:53:52.710-07:002010-09-11T08:53:52.710-07:00wow...thanks so much for putting up a blog on book...wow...thanks so much for putting up a blog on book reviews...:)The Legend Returnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04918439080871977089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-60722484064716016952010-09-10T01:39:17.623-07:002010-09-10T01:39:17.623-07:00Hmm...tell me what you think of both when you'...Hmm...tell me what you think of both when you're finished.Sakhi Shahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16140147799115440477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715098673309673728.post-20121284933661520052010-09-09T03:28:31.704-07:002010-09-09T03:28:31.704-07:00I have Dreamcatcher on my desktop for ages and nev...I have Dreamcatcher on my desktop for ages and never seen it :P.
