Ranking 50 Stephen King Books!

Welcome to my YouTube channel!

My name is Riley, and I'm passionate about reading. In this first video, I rank 50 Stephen King books.

A special thanks to @jimmymango @ZacksBooks and @emmiereads for inspiring me to start my own YouTube channel. Your passion for books has been a significant influence on my decision to create my own content.

I hope to continue creating videos about reading, so stay tuned for more content in the future. My plans include reading vlogs, book reviews, and ranking lists. If these topics interest you, please consider subscribing.

Stephen King is not the only author I enjoy; I'm interested in a wide range of genres and authors. If you have any suggestions or recommendations, please leave a comment. I may feature your suggestion in a future video (:

I'm definitely one to support everyone's opinion, but Misery at 28 made me shed a tear

[jimmymango]

Great list! It’s always interesting to see how everyone’s differs.

If you loved IT that much you have to read Boy’s Life by Robert McCammon and Summer of Night by Dan Simmons

[toddhill]

Great job. Enjoyed your rankings.
Suggestion: Nix the background music.

Thank you for loving Finders Keepers. I feel it’s criminally underrated.

[kevinphelps]

Drawing of the Three is my favorite Tower book as well, you need to read Duma Key and Bag of Bones

[tymeseries]

Reading on a treadmill! That's genius. Going to try that!

Desperation is awesome, makes me glad to see this much appreciation for it

[XanaduCastle]

very cool and interesting list with a few refreshing picks.i really need to get around to desperation as it does sound cool but regulators does seem like one of those super crazy weird fun books

[chancemoody]

I agreed with you more than I do I lot of these videos! You’re the man 🙌🤝👏

[BookishDrummer]

glad to see how high you put the dead zone, which is my all time favorite by him

Man, we are twins! Same kurt cobain's poster, same tastes on king's books. I like books that other people don't like. My top 5: misery, christine, the shining, 11/22/63, and first position desperation. I don't like it but it's my fault because I tried three times to read it as my king's beginning book. And I failed three times. Awful memories interwoven to this book.

My top 10 changes all the time, but I am right with you on your 1 & 2. Both of those books interchange for me and are masterpieces, but your #1 is my #1 as well. Just something about Derry!

Really very good ranking. You express yourself with clarity, to the point and at adequate speed. Says one who has seen many SK YT tier lists and rankings. I am now remembering that other great young SK reviewer from the Otherworldsthathis channel in England.

I've read 61 SK books, all of them fiction except On Writing and only one, The Gunslinger, in the Dark Tower Series.

Best so far and only 10/10: 11/22/63

Worst 6/10 both: The Girld Who Loved Tom Gordon and The Long Walk.

They have in common that repetitive progress of the protagonists' journey.

I don't find IT so interesting (repetitive, unnecessary long) but still 7/10. Like you, I don't find The Body so interesting, though not bad..

Some discrepancies with your ranking:

I gave Blaze and Dolores Claiborne 9/10.
Others I also consider his best: Dr Mercedes trilogy, Joyland, Revival, The Green Mile, Salem's Lot, The Shining and Desperation.

Best short story collection: Skeleton Crew. 9/10. Best story: The Jaunt.

Last read: If You Like it Darker 7/10

I encourage you to continue with your videos.

Kudos on your list, man!

If there's one thing I've gathered from the various lists of everyone's SK rankings, is how almost each book hits differently with each reader besides the Top 10 books which are more or less the same.

Personally I've only read 10 books of the king of horror but this is my current ranking:

1. Under the Dome
2. The Stand
3. It
4. 11.22.63
5. Needful things
6. Pet Sematary
7. Outsider
8. Salem's lot
9. Firestarter
10. Talisman

A. I sort of got lost with the Talisman at the second half but I must say that you got me intrigued to give Black house a shot.
B. I wholeheartedly enjoyed 'It' but I did wish there was more "screen time" for It in the book.
C. Under the Dome was a gem for me, mainly for the aspects you mentioned.

[LeoAlves]

I LIVE for It! one of my faves all time

[BookishDrummer]

great ranking video! even though I disagree with a lot of your ordering lol

[DK-rudt]

Great video, great editing, great ranking
BTW, do you plan on reading You Like It Darker?

[CliffsDarkGems]

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is my worst book, mainly because as a South African I know nothing about baseball. Great ranking, mine differs from yours, but that is what's great about these kind of videos. The Stand is my favorite King book. If you enjoyed that you will love Swan Song by Robert McCammon. IT is awesome, You have to read Boy's Life by Robert McCammon. Awesome video! I do recommend Skeleton Crew as well. Keep going Constant Reader!

[stephentheshywarrior]

Just subscribed. I really recommend reading Later. Theres a connection to another book I think u will like.😎

[Joda]

Good one brother! If you could only keep the summary of the book a bit more brief, it would be perfect for me:D But take it easy, for me everything is spoiler:D
