Hi, this is the first time I read a novel by Stephen King, this I liked it better than Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irvin, because it contains a fresh and contemporary vocabulary.
ResponderEliminarIt's good, but I can not say if one of his greatest works because I have not read another, but this novel is very interesting but scary, I think the writers have a unique imagination to create stories that capture the attention of many people in the world.
well, this is the first time i read a novel by stephen king. Perhaps because i just read because my teachers suggest me a book. anyway. i found a website with some information about stephen king. http://www.booksfactory.com/writers/king_es.htm here you will find that he was actually an alcoholic xD and that he has worked in many movies/books/series =D. teacher. and i completely agree with Meryam xD!because this is by far better than sleepy hollow, and Zillonsssss times easy to get than sleepy hollow =P
ResponderEliminarRemember that "Sleepy Hollow" was written in the 19th century! that's why the vocabulary is a little bit difficult to understand at once! And Diego, I congratulate you because you've searched information about Stephen King! The authors' biography may explain why they write what they write!! jejejeje!! Have you looked for the audiobook? I haven't found it yet! :-(
ResponderEliminarHello, well in my opinion it is not his biggest one, of course not.... I prefer Pet sementary and Dreamcather, i love them, they are just great. I do not like so much this one because it is not the kind of novel i like reading, i prefer more frightening novel, and Desperation is not one of them, well, at least for me.
ResponderEliminarhello everyone!
ResponderEliminarwell, I if I have read a novel called MISERY.
with regard to his best novels. I think that desperation was not one of the best ones. because desperation showed no suspense, horror, terror. there was no harassment that make antagonist to the protagonist. that is, harassment that the villain of the story goes behind for the victim to kill it, dismember, possess. the antagonist´s action was very simple. now, if I compare with the only novel I have read "misery." misery if it conveyed fear, terror, suspense. that every time I read the novel. I involved into it. it was becoming more interesting.
for that, I think the novel written by Stephen King "Desperation" was not one of the best.
hello, this is the first time I read a novel by this autor, to be honest I do not like read so much =S But,I must do it,well, I liked the novel although I do not have read it all, but, I prefer watch the movie because some escenes are exciting. I must read another novels by this author to establish comparations between them and know if this is his better novel or not. desperation is good because it have suspense, a little of terror and a training.
ResponderEliminarWell really I did not read any other literary work of Stephen King but if I read a story of horror genre which was written by Jay Anson called "The Amityville Horror." However I have been reading desesperation and I consider that is most understandable that the story of the headless horseman, I think that is because it is contemporary. Lucy =)
ResponderEliminarI agree with Carle and Carmen! Stephen King has written better novels than Desperation! However, it has exciting and interesting parts! What makes a fiction novel interesting?
ResponderEliminarI consider that makes a fiction novel interesting is because there are possible events that tells a framework developed in purely imaginary time-space. the action can rotate to innimaginables things like: Ufo´s attack, evolution of machines, etc, so I thinks that all those elements make a novel very interesting=) Lucy
ResponderEliminarHello everyone, but this is the first story, I read from Stephen King, not by my own choice but by responsibility to the subject. Yes, I like reading; but most stories related with: romance, science fiction, fantasy and personal development.I have researched about the different works of stephen King, and he has a lot of. Among which we mention: analogies, short stories, poems, novels, non fiction, among others. According to the various work that he have done I could see that most are those involved tilting the horror, supense, fear and other feelings.
ResponderEliminarStephen King likes the Dark mood when I saw the movie and compared it with I've read of the story,I must admit that this field has taught me and aroused my interest in the readings that contain terror and suspense, it raises the need to continue reading until the end to dispel the fear level that produces the storylines.
ResponderEliminarYes, I think is one of the most important works of Stephen, with Desperation he won two nominations of Emmy Award. He had the opportunity to edit the film as well was televised by ABC channel.
ResponderEliminarOther work that could compare with, was "the regulators" which had many similarities with the work I named before and hid under the name of "Richard Bachman".
What makes a book or a story interesting is what the reader feels for the development of the plot.
ResponderEliminarThere is a famous saying in Spanish: "between tastes and colors the authors have not written"
I think that makes them interesting because it involves a world of possibilities of what could happen and has never been, always will experience different emotions as the events occurred. When we read we can identify or imbued with some of the characters and become one of them too, knowing that they are imaginary facts but away from the possibility that anything can happen.
ResponderEliminarStephen king is know for his horror novels, movies, series, r and science fiction.
ResponderEliminarWell, I was researching about stephen's novels and found that I have seen two of his many works such as Pet Sematary in 1983, and the Mist,films based on novels, the two are very good works as are all his works. Pet Sematary is a good horror movie also i saw it again and i got scared.
I can not say that Desperation is his biggest work, because i haven`t really read his novels, for the moment i am Reading Desperation and the movie that is a horror movie. Perhaps i think that is more interesting seeing the movie that reading the novel because it`s is very long, but this novel was nominated to Locus award, in 1997, Best horror novel(winner), International Horror Guild Award, 1996, BestNovel (Nominatión)
hey in fact, i have found something. but id ont know if the link is or isnt working !! http://www.torrentdownloads.net/searches/Stephen%20King%20%20%20Desperation%20Audiobook%20Unabridged this is the the TORRENT link. the audiobook is kinda heavy. but usefull =D. i ll try to download as soon as possible. and hell yeah the biography helped me way too much to understand why Stephen wrote this novel.... as i said b4: i dont know if it is his best novel, but since i haven`t read another i can say that this is the best XD. i have nothing to compare with. plus, i have to admit that i share thoughts with Nataly (i guees that it is Johana Westdorp) different tastes for different people. each head is a world :D
ResponderEliminarI've always heard about the novel " Pet cemetery"...much of the people say that it is very good, I have to watch it. I was reading some of the titles of the novels by stephen king, all of them seem interesting, I would like to watch" Pet cemetery" and "Damn road"...when I finished with desperation,I will read them, I promise ;) beacuse this author seem have very good novels..
ResponderEliminarI can not really talk about Steve King, because it is the first time I read a novel by him, but I could see desperation and taste, excellent plot, very real characters, setting, the environment, the only thing I thought was the final unless the viewer than the beginning of the novel ... and I think what makes it interesting feature films is to keep the viewer in suspense, that what happens in the novel has a connection with reality and part fantasy, because it relates to the every day and turn to myths or legends to be said.
ResponderEliminardesperation is a good novel or story which has good events and great imagination of the writer stephen. For me the horror of this novel is very profesional and fits into what this man dreamed of writing it. is very interesting, but better than this, it is misery because I loved the way it portrays the character of Annie, how do you explain your thinking. It may seem a bit obsessive but once you go into the story one wants to know how to save the protagonist. Impact parts of the cruelty of history.
ResponderEliminarOther comments is about pet sementary, although not the best Stephen King novel, it hooks you from start to finish. So still the number one terror. I am afraid because the black cat appears there was very cruel.
Stephen King is a very good and creative writer, as Dhiego said he was alcoholic maybe he took inpiration from those drunk night Where alcohol took over his thoughts and created powerful and inexplicable beings, that humanity could not explain. That is why many of his creations used pseudonyms such as Richard Bachman and John Swith.
ResponderEliminarDespite I have always heard of this famous writer, I never had the opportunity to read some of his creations, this one in particular seems to me a great story like "The Nightmare" by Graham Masterton. Very bloody and sometimes unfair as everything in the real life but at the end the good guys always win.
I've looked for the film "Pet Cemetary" but I haven't found it yet! I have the book and I would like my future students to read it because it's really interesting! Or, do you want to read it this semester, too??? :-)
ResponderEliminarGOOD TEACHER CONVENIENT IF YOU THINK WE'LL READ THEM READ THEM, FOR NOW UNTIL WE HAVE THE TREATY DOSNOVELAS HAVE BEEN GOOD, I will never forget of Sleepy Hollow JAJAJA NO ME DEJO MY HEAD jajjaja ... SEE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT IF THERE IS TIME
ResponderEliminarHi again!
ResponderEliminarWell guys, I have read your comments. I have seen the movie pet cemetery is hair-raising. That movie is scary. there, if there is action! now, the novel do not know if is more hair-raising than movie. it certain is that the movie is very good.

Hi I think that stephen king has better histories, than desesperation like pet cemetary but I like both, bacause I think he is very, creatin and interesting when write.
ResponderEliminarTeacher I'd like to read "Pet Cemetary"; it seems to be very interesting. At least the movie is very good from my point of view. Would you provide me the story?
ResponderEliminarVexzi I agree with your conception about creativity and degree of interest in Stephen King novels planned. Definitely he is a wonderful writer!

ResponderEliminarI would like to see pet cemetery as Geraldine says, but only see it .... no evaluation.
ResponderEliminarI saw Children of the Corn is good and also really scary.
Hi everybody! This was the first Novel that I read by Steven King and I didn`t like it because This novel deals with a supernatural being called tak whose sole aim is to feed on the energy of a human being.just this.I prefer novels where the opponent attacks its victims and makes them suffer. that`s why, I didn`t like it.
ResponderEliminarI had never before had read the novels of Stephen King, I read Agatha Christie novels, I seem most interesting, although the author must have other novels with a much better ... sorry but I did not like the end, too much plot to an end so simple. :-)
ResponderEliminarEste comentario ha sido eliminado por el autor.
ResponderEliminarthis is the first novel written by my friend Stephen that I ever read and honestly even when he is a very good friend I didn´t like his novel maybe because I don't like that kind of genre, while I read the novel and during the movie I was afraid and I don't like that, I mean the novel is good but for people that really like this genre, so I can't say if this is his biggest novel because this is the first for me, I heard about other but I never watch the movies or read the novels... actitud actitud... people
ResponderEliminarWell guys we agree, we tell the teacher but that is not assessed
ResponderEliminarAnd if we choose to view please bring popcorn, soft drinks, candy, giving management jejejjejej ... thanks
I think that Desperation is an interesting novel primarily because during its historical development. It kept me on suspense that reflects this history.The characters live so frighten because of a supernatural being, and finally the struggle between goodness (God) and badness (Tak). God being the winner.
ResponderEliminarIn addition to the novel Desperation I had the opportunity to read other litery works, called Misery where the central point is the character represented by mad nurse. Claret
Hi everyone!
ResponderEliminarIn my last opinion I wrote that I didn`t like the novel, well also I saw the movie and I think the same because DEsperation movie LOOKS LIKE A movie OF Beginer. Stephen what happen to you! Your fans want novels and movies that do not let them sleep for weeks.
Hello!I want to say that I like the horror genre and all that is mysterious and full of panic, in my opinion the novel Desperation there are terror and suspense scenes that keep the viewer anxious, but the author also wrote many episodes full of magic and mysticism, and this makes the story lose credibility in the plot.:-)
ResponderEliminarMy expectations for the final were different, I thought it would be overcome by evil differently and not really finished.:-(

ResponderEliminarOk people if is true that Stephen is a great writer but please other novel or movie of the same genre like pet cementery please NOOOO, so geraldine no please, I read that the autor also wrote novels corresponding to other kind of genre not only horror, and I didn't know that, he wrote carrie the novel and movie, i just remember the movie about the girl that I don't really sure if She cries blood or kill people with her mind but something like that and the shining, the film related to this novel is with the great actor Jach Nicholson in which he was perfect, uhm!!!I think He won a oscar for it, but this blog is not about him.
ResponderEliminarI'd like to read my pet cemetery and other Stephen King novels because a friend told me they are very good, because I saw the movie oet cemetery and I would like to see it again is fantastic. I like those kind of movies and book. I like deseperation a lot.
ResponderEliminarteacher I like this kind of novel, but we also have to take into account the point of view oe aur partners who do not like this kind of novel.
ResponderEliminarEste comentario ha sido eliminado por el autor.
ResponderEliminarwell, I don't think we have enough time to read the pet cementery because the semester is finishing, but I think desperation was very good, ok it is not maybe the best novel written by mr.King but for me it was good, because the story is interesting, he wrote many novels and a lot of them were best seller, I read that in the novels he always writes about towns or people invented and in some characters he puts some characteristics from his own personality maybe because he had a very excited life during his youth, besides two of his sons are writers too and one of them wrote a short story that will be adapted and the warner broters company will make a film about it.
ResponderEliminaruhm For me a good fiction novel has to be interesting and it must have a lot of suspense, in this way the autor keeps the atention of the reader, and when he or she read the novel are anxios and interested for knowing what happen next and what happen at he end
me again... teacher for me a good fiction novel must be not only interesting, the writer must sorprise the reader and make him/her to think and he must to do this with intelligence, besides in my personal opinion the characters are very important they must be ordinary and they must have characteristics and customs out the traditional for example a serial killer with some special love for the flowers that is very rare and something like that,for me these thing are the principals condition in a fiction novel... actitud actitud... people
ResponderEliminarNormedy my friend I'm depply agree with you a fiction novel must be amazing, it must have to sorprise people catch them attention because this is the way for getting a best seller. Killing people is something easy in novels however, keeping the viewer's attention is something extremely complicated. And Stephen King definitely knew how.
ResponderEliminarhey fellas, how is it goin`? great huh? well i have been a lil bit away fromthe computer bcz i had an argue with my dad bcz i wanted to use the bloody modem and he just hide it. im not a kid to play hide and seek. anyways i bought my own modem and now i can bother y`all =D..
