I don't read many books of short stories because I have found that I either LOVE the short stories or get very annoyed with them. I think it may just be because I always want more...

I thought that this collection was pretty good. Overall I would recommend it. If I were to recommend it to my friends, I would warn them there were a number of stories that I absolutely loved, but many that I struggled to get through because I just wasn't interested.

The book begins with a great introduction from Mr. King and then we jump right into "Autopsy Room Four." I LOVED THIS STORY! I've found myself thinking about it again and again afterwards. It was the perfect first story for the book. I found it to be absolutely terrifying and I couldn't put it down!

I also loved the second story, "The Man in the Black Suit." This one was very creepy.

I enjoyed the sixth story, "Little Sisters of Eluria" but didn't love it and found myself drifting a bit while reading it.

I LOVED "The Road Virus Heads North!" It was very creepy and gave me a Christine vibe.

"Lunch at the Gotham Cafe" was very intense, I couldn't put this one down either!

"That Feeling, You Can Only Say What it is in French" was awesome! I liked this one because it seemed very realistic. Déjà vu totally weirds me out and the last two sentences that Mr. King writes in his commentary really stood out to me.

"1408" was just as terrifying as the first story. Even though this one had a bit of a slow start, it picked up and got intense very quickly! This one reminded me a bit of The Shining.

At first I didn't really like "Riding the Bullet," but the more I think about it, the more I like it.

And finally, "Lucky Quarter" was another that had a bit of a slow start, but I liked it in the end.

So overall, I absolutely loved 5 of the stories, out of 14. Not too bad! :)
