Now, I have not read Gerald's Game or Dolores Claiborne. But having read  
Rose Madder I can say, it was comparably bad. So I did not like either of  
them.
Rose Madder could have been really cool if Rosie hadn't been able to step  
into that picture. I mean - from that point on the whole story turned into  
nothing more than a unnecessary fantasy story.
And in Insomnia - first I was really excited - you know back again in  
Derry, home of Pennywise ... ;) but then, well I do not know how to  
describe it, the story is just boring, really boring that is. I do  
remember the main events of any story I have read by Stephen King, except  
of one: Insomnia. And that's quite interesting for it's been only about  
ten month ago when I've read it. The only thing I do remember is that the  
two main characters were whining about their laboriuos lives as old people  
virtually all the time. Maybe that is a bit exaggerated but that is the  
impression I got.
