Gunslinger *Spoiler Warning*

I hadn't read any of the other books mentioned except 'Salems Lot, The Shining, and Eyes of the Dragon, and I liked the books fine.

Though I think I did miss lots of references towards the other books, it didn't really diminish my enjoyment of the series.

And as for not being able to read his books because he puts too many out, I have read all of them. Except for The Stand because the first part bored me to death. But I did watch the movie. LOL.

Ahhh, Ive read alot of king, but i have not read any of those.

You really nust read Tears Of The Dragon - one of his less well known works (it's more like a child's gruesome fairytale really) but very enjoyale nevertheless

In 7th grade my english teacher said I couldn't do a report on that book because it was too gruesome.

So I did it anyways and failed English.

Oh well, King failed English too!

Yet something like Dante's Inferno would probably be acceptable

Imho TOTD is simply a fairy tale , but with a bit more graphic depiction of the bad things that happen.

As far as English exams are concerned the actual content (within reason) is irrelevant - it's the way you interpret the novel that should be important

Thats probably because you got the title wrong. Its called Eyes of the Dragon.
