The Stand

One of my all time favorite books. Keeps you turning pages.
—Guest Larry Walker

the dark tower

Loved the dark tower. Wish it had not ended. Stephen King is by far my favorite author.
—Guest david

The Talisman and The Black House

Awesome, I never knew what would happen next. Mr. King is a Genius!
—Guest Tracy Eads

The Dark Tower Series

I have loved every single book I have ever read by Stephen King. The Dark Tower Series wins, hands down, with me. I hated to see it end.
—Guest Denise

Dark Tower

The series was the best reading ever! I enjoy reading all his creations!
—Guest Vernold B.

Insomnia

It was the first King novel I read and I was hooked from page one. I have read and own a lot of his books, but I have always viewed this as his best. (Also the Dark Tower books are good and if you read and like insomnia then read the Dark Tower books.)
—Guest Cam

The Long Walk

From a literary stand point that is probably his best. From a reader's perspective, it is hard. Pet Semetery and all his two worlds books are hard to beat.
—Guest Mahatma

Cell / Desperation

Stephen brought everything to life with every turn of the page there's a new tale of events. I have almost all his books from my mom. I'm 17 and am working on my 35th book. I can't stop -- it's like a drug.
—Guest Tab'e dawn

Christine

An amazing book -- with his classic iconic images you just cant get any better than this
—Guest paul

Lisey's Story

I could not possibly list all my favorites, there are far too many. I have enjoyed reading Stephen King's books for many, many years and have never found one that I didn't enjoy. I hope that he writes many more.

What is the best Stephen King book?

Rose Madder is the best Stephen King book in my opinion and I am only 14
—Guest Heather

Dark Tower Series

It's the most epic series I've read, but if I had to pick a single book, I'd choose...the Stand. It's his best novel that I've read of his to date, but I've only read about 22 or 23 of 70+ books that he's written. Give me a break, I'm only 15 lol. But yes, the Stand is his best stand-alone book.
—Guest Karina

The Stand

By far the greatest thing he has ever written. It is just epic.
—Guest Snook

Needful Things

It was my first King novel and I have been hooked ever since. There is just so much happening in this book. And there is something definitely terrifying about someone knowing your inner-most desire and using it against you. A Must Read!
—Guest Kristen B

The Stand

Loved both editions. And have the movie version on tape and watch it every now and then still.
