I had to go back to our room in the woods by myself once, and I was pretty freaked. But the book is a bit different than the movie, and you'll make it through if you have a snuggle partner for some of the scarier bits :) In all seriousness, try The Eyes of the Dragon. King wrote the book for his daughter, and it's a Teen fantasy book; it even has sketches in it (at least in the version I have) and it's a great little book. Reminds me I should find my copy and read it again...Laura Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16378567034876631859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831300856749740997.post-39766937232545969062011-10-23T21:26:23.538-04:002011-10-23T21:26:23.538-04:00Oh my gosh, I forgot that "Hen-hen-ry-ry-ro-r...Oh my gosh, I forgot that "Hen-hen-ry-ry-ro-ro-en-en-gart-ner" came after a scary movie! Now that you've jogged my memory, I think it was Village of the Dammed. Which was actually not so bad. <br />If I do make the foray back into King, I'll try the Shining. But I'll make sure there's room in my freezer first :)Leanne Sowulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12383304035039075308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7831300856749740997.post-90420890057671141592011-10-23T21:06:08.272-04:002011-10-23T21:06:08.272-04:00As the person who fell in love with Henry Rowengar...As the person who fell in love with Henry Rowengartner with you while watching Rookie of the Year as an alternate to the scary movie we rented that night, I completely understand your avoidance of much of King's literature. (and this post gave me a total flashback to when I saw 'What Lies Beneath' in a Potsdam suite... )<br /><br />But if you are ever feeling brave enough to try again- read The Shining. It is scary but I think you would love it a lot. The character development is a major part of the story, and it is told from multiple character perspectives which I know you love too.The Dimas Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07156502363052140117noreply@blogger.com
