To give some background, there was a long wait for the third book. It popped up on amazon for preorder once or twice and then disappeared, with the release date moving back ultimately two years or so past what it was set at initially. I was seriously wondering at that time if the author was out of stories and struggling in vain to create a third book that wasn't really inside of her.
On the one hand I felt sorry for her, but on the other hand, this was a suspenseful, intriguing series and it baffled me that she jumped into writing it without knowing where it would end. Weird.
All the same, my hardcover turned out to be signed, so I sent it to a blogging friend who can enjoy it more than I'd be able to!

So even though I wrote to her hoping for another book and actually got my wish granted, I was still disappointed.

it's epic , he doesn't write about heroes he writes about traitors, fools, and good people in evil societies and how that change them
the last series he is writing is Shattered Sea , and it's YA novel , and it's happy ended , light hearted fantasy , WHY?????
I want my darkness back
(the story is good and all but not as the ones before)

I know what you mean! I cannot say that he has disappointed me often, but I just finished Revival and wish I had never cracked the binding to open it. Started good... had a good plot... got me interested and wanting to find out the end. The end made me smack myself in the face and question what the hell he was thinking.StephenKingman wrote: some of his books have disappointed me .

I think you are talking about "The Long Walk" where a bunch of teens/children compete to see the last one standing in exchange for getting everything they ever dreamed about. To me, I think it was the story that inspired "The Hunger Games". Good short by S.K.Daffodil wrote:I agree that Stephen King lost the magic quite some time back. I think I struggled through Insomnia and didn't pick up another. My mum is a diehard SK fan so she still ploughs through as they get released but she never raves about what she has read. I read a lot of his stuff when I was younger so I guess perhaps I have grown out of it. I did enjoy Tommyknockers however but I may have been in my early 20's at the time. One of his stories that stayed with me was under his pseudonym Richard Bachman (?) a short storey 'Runners' or 'The Runners'. Loved it. I wouldn't pick up another SK book unless someone raved about it.
