Cell is really good Lee. I liked it a lot, though I found some parts kind of wandering. But, it was classic King to me for the most part.

Under The Dome would make a good movie as well.

I thought it was great Lee. This will describe it better than I can. "On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester’s Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener’s hand is severed as “the dome” comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when—or if—it will go away. Dale Barbara, Iraq vet and now a short-order cook, finds himself teamed with a few intrepid citizens—town newspaper owner Julia Shumway, a physician’s assistant at the hospital, a selectwoman, and three brave kids. Against them stands Big Jim Rennie, a politician who will stop at nothing—even murder—to hold the reins of power, and his son, who is keeping a horrible secret in a dark pantry. But their main adversary is the Dome itself. Because time isn’t just short. It’s running out." www.stephenking.com/library/novel/under_the_dome.html

i finished reading cell yesterday. the ending, to me, was rubbish. it could have gone on for a few more pages and made it better imo. the book was a good read though.
i'm now trying to get a copy of under the dome.

Yeah, the ending stunk. But I didn't want to ruin it for you.

My Opinions on the Books I've Read:
'Salem's Lot: I enjoyed this book. Found the beginning a bit slow but beyond that I became engrossed with the characters and plot. I found it to be one of his better works.
Christine: This is what garnered my attention in cars for those short years during my childhood. I have no idea why, it just did. Perhaps that thought that all cars were that gruesome just made me excited to get one of my own!
Cujo: First King book that I read. One fact is that I enjoy the book ending over the movie one any day. Happy endings aren't always needed.
Duma Key No. Just no.
The Eyes of the Dragon Got this out of my school's library and enjoyed it. Surprisingly, it was a fair reading level or so below all of his others - it read as if targeted more to teenagers. However nothing seems to have been memorable enough to stick as I cannot remember anything, really, besides Flagg I think it was...
Firestarter: Mmhm. No comments really.
Misery: Once again no comments.
Under the Dome: I was a bit disappointed with this but then again I didn't manage to get through the first four or so chapters before having to return it to the library. I'll be checking it out again soon, though.
Top Three Picks:
Pet Semetary: Second King book I read. I love the plot, characters, just everything about this book.
The Shining: One of the spookier novels in my opinion.
IT: Hurrhurr. Made me like clowns and wish Pennywise was my friend. Then I doubted his existence and wanted desperately for my mother to let me search the sewers for him... She said no which was a said affair for me.

No comment on Misery?? One of his best novels IMO. That wasn't scary?
