I haven’t read Carrie yet but I did read IT over summer and I totally understand what you mean by not being sure about his writing because the plots themselves are really good however Kings execution and writing style aren’t always the best😬

I don’t know anyone that loves Gatsby. I think it’s a really important piece of American literature for teaching purposes, but I don’t think anyone actually likes it that much 😂

You are the first person I’ve seen NOT hype up Great Gatsby, THANK YOU! I’ve been thinking this since I read it in 12th grade😂

Classics I personally didn’t like that I read in the past year: American Psycho, adventures of Huck Finn, Do Androids dream of electric sheep, The picture of Dorian Gray, the alchemist. Classics I loved this year: Dune, Flowers for Algenon, The Road, Fahrenheit 451.

Gatsby feels so empty and superficial, kind of like The Alchemist, another book everyone pretends to love

Can’t understand why people don’t like the great gatsby. I’ve read it twice in different eras of my life and it was masterful both times. Carrie is a good first effort by King. He’s not quite King yet though.

I feel that way about ‘Stoner’. I don’t understand these raving reviews. I thought it was so dull. I was expecting so much depth and it was barely in the water.

I love Phantom in all its forms but the book is VERY different from the musical. More of a detective story feel. 🥀

I also can’t decide if I like Stephen King 😂. The only one I’ve liked so far has been The Green Mile.

I enjoyed The Great Gatsby in highschool 30-something years ago, but I don’t think I would be that entertained by it now.

The Phantom of the Opera and Great Gatsby were both fine, but I have no desire to read either again. Carrie, on the other hand, is one I've read more than once. I also like the '70s movie more than the books, but I think that's because I watched it numerous time before reading the book. There's a lot to like about the books, but you can tell that Stephen King hadn't fully developed his craft yet. Better books to try by King would be Christine and Dolores Claiborne; those are a couple of my favorites.

Carrie has an amazing ending. I was a horribly bullied girl tho so it was so emotional for me.

Stephen King is one of my favorite authors but Carrie to me isn’t his best… I didn’t really like it.

I agree with your assessment of all of these. I found Never Let me Go kind of a let down too. I love the concept but it took me a long time to care about the characters.

as for me, I really expected to like the picture of dorian gray because a lot of people liked it. I unfortunately did not 😭 probably because I'm starting to get into classics. do you guys have any recommendations for beginners? english isn't my 1st language.
