Hi Kim:
 
 S>  well, I don't know what happened; but he just 
 S> wasn't writing the way he
 S>  use to..I agree that something has been missing 
 S> since before Gerald's Game...
Well it was hard on me when Rose Madder, Desperation and Regulator too. I had 
found that maybe he was having some sort of writers block for I had trouble 
reading these novels...I had found that the writer who I grew up had changed 
his style altogether...
 
 S>  I'm glad to hear the new Gunslinger is up to snuff 
 S> with the old SK...it will
 S>  make me want to get that book even more....I am 
 S> waiting patiently to come
 S>  in the mail...and considering we just had a mail 
 S> strike, it might take awhile
 S>  to get here..it'll be a good xmas present to me!
Well I hope you enjoy the read Kim it's a good one and a different aspect of 
the Gunslinger series it's more of a prequel of sorts...;)
 
 S>  Have you read all SK's books?  Some people say they 
 S> don't like the Gunslinger
 S>  series..can't get into it...can't imagine that...
I've read everyone that he has but out, including the Bachman one's too. 
There was a time when I could wait for a King novel to be introduced into the 
market for I was always in line picking it up and it would take me a few days 
to read it....but with the new material it was like I could read the book but 
it didn't hold my attention..so it took a while to get thru them..;( With the 
newest Gunslinger installation I sat down and read the book from cover to 
cover and was glad to see that it was what I expected.
 
 S> The only other of SK that I didn't care for was The 
 S> Greenmile Serial...didn't
 S>  find it interesting enough, and didn't like the 
 S> fact is was all cut up and
 S>  we had to read it a little bit at a time...I hate waiting I guess
The Green Mile is a serial novel and a throwback to the days of pulp fiction 
which I love...I found the whole series an enjoyable read. :)
