In previous book posts and comments, I mentioned I was reading Finders Keepers by Stephen King. Well, I just finished the book about two days ago and I thought it was pretty good.
Believe it or not, this is the first Stephen King book I read all the way through. I do have plenty of King's other books that were given to me as presents, including Under the Dome. I started reading Under the Dome about a year ago because I was a fan of the TV show and wanted to read the book. I managed to make it to about the 100 page mark before life got in the way and I put the book back on the shelf. But now that I'm finished with Finders Keepers, I think it's time to pick up Under the Dome again.
Do you like Stephen King? If so, what's your favorite book?

Yes, I love Stephen King books, I have read "Finders Keepers", this is the second volume of the Detective Bill Hodges trilogy, I have also read the first one (Mr. Mercedes) and the following and last "End of Watch". I loved all the books.

@dramagirl26 I have also read Finders Keepers first and then I have bought Mr. Mercedes and the third one as soon as it has been published.

@LadyDuck I saw where the third one came out recently and it seems like it'd be good.

@LadyDuck I haven't read Mr. Mercedes yet, but it's going on my list because I want to read more about Bill, Holly, and Jerome.

@DianneN I used to never read historical romances, but I've gotten so now that I enjoy them.

I do enjoy Stephen King and have been reading his books since the 70s! Under the Dome is a good one, I hope you finish it. Dean Koontz is spookier, at least his earlier books, but those two are my favorite authors.

@dragon54u I plan to start on Under the Dome once I'm finished with some other books. Did you ever watch the show?

@dramagirl26 I did watch the first season. I thought it was a one season show but when the last episode aired and they mentioned season 2 I stopped. I did like the casting and the series was interesting, I just didn't want to invest that much time in a show I knew the ending to.

@dramagirl26 the book is much better. If I had seen the movie first I would not have read the book. I thought "It" was good too.

@Courtlynn Finders Keepers is pretty good, and from what I've read so far Under the Dome seems interesting.

@Courtlynn I've always heard his books were good. I've watched a few of the movies, but never read any of the books until now.

His early novels are the best as he has grown tired in recent years with lame endings. I would say It or The Stand are his best.
