The Top 10 Worst Stephen King Books Ever Written

A Listmania! list by Mr. Sinister (El Cajon, CA USA)
1.  Gerald's Game by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "The one Stephen King book that I would never read again.  This is the anti-Misery!  What boring tripe, written by King in a two-week period.  Delores Claiborne, its twin, is far superior."

3.5 out of 5 stars  (241 customer reviews)

2.  Desperation by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "Linked with the Bachman-stupid The Regulators, here we have a period of glut from SK that should have reamined unpublished.  A long, dragging novel that could have been halved with good editing."
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  (597 customer reviews)

3.  The Regulators by Richard Bachman
The list author says:
  "Tripe!  Whatever King was going for here should have remained hidden in the Dead Novel Trunk.  This is really crap.  Straight out.  Not even fun crap!  Tak!"
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
3.4 out of 5 stars  (211 customer reviews)

4.  Rose Madder by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "Another of King's feminist books.  We look at abuse and look again and again.  This is the typified villanous husband beating the wife book.  Yawn.  King gets weird here and it isn't good at all."
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
3.9 out of 5 stars  (280 customer reviews)

5.  Insomnia by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "This should be retitled: CURE FOR INSOMNIA.  What a long, dragging book about abused women and old people and boy did I not need to read this, but I did.  Is there a point to this one?  King babbles!"
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
3.6 out of 5 stars  (401 customer reviews)

6.  The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon: A Pop-up Book by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "Not necessarily a bad book, more of a short story that got way too out of hand.  Pointless and cute and trying to be scary where there is no fear whatsoever.  A yawner extroidinaire."

7.  Four Past Midnight (Signet) by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "Compared to Different Seasons (and that is very difficult) these four novellas suck.  There are some interesting ideas going on here, its just that they drag.  Get to the point, Steve!"
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  (88 customer reviews)

8.  Nightmares and Dreamscapes by Stephen King
The list author says:
  "His least cohesive Short Story collection.  A few gems amongst a lot of debris and rubble."
$7.99   Used & New from: $0.01
4.2 out of 5 stars  (92 customer reviews)
