My TOP 10 Stephen King Books

With the release of Stephen King's new book, "Holly," (which I will be reading next month) I did my absolute best to rank my top 10 Stephen King books of all time... I am sure this list will have to be updated at some point.

One of the best commentaries in a top 10 stephen king video. Nice job

Love the passion! I have yet to really begin my King journey but this is getting me excited to try all the ones on my shelf! I’ve read Salem’s Lot and Apt Pupil so far and liked both and need to keep going!

I loved this list! As I have only read The Shining and now ready to take on It for the month of October, I’m so excited to the King experience again! Great video John!

[BeyondTheBlurb]

Gosh. You speak with so much passion I just have to add The Stand to my wish list. Fantastic video 👏👏👏.

So cool to see Different Seasons at no. 2 and Night Shift in the top ten, couldn’t agree more. Great post.

Amazing video, only started reading King this year and now everytime i finish a book I get the itch to read another! And this video has amplified that itch 😂

Just started Mr. Mercedes tonight. Seeing it on your list got me all the more excited for it!

[luisalmodovar]

[dannyjorde]

I can't agree more with that list. New subscriber 🙌

[carlosjarabejoiii]

Glad Different Seasons is high on the list! You just gained a subsctiber, Sir.

[robertrippy]

Hey Bill Pullman! I really enjoy your book reviews. Big fan of your movies as well

[yeseniareyes]

You sold me on Different Seasons! Just finished Pet Semetary. The beginning was slow, in the middle I wept, the end left me with a feeling of emptiness. I wanted more or perhaps a different ending. The Shining is my favorite SK so far. Can’t wait to read Different Seasons, thanks!

[TheLooterArmy]

The Talisman, written by King & another master of storytelling, Peter Straub. First time I ever cried at the death of a fictional being. (Wolf)

Im currently reading my second stephen king book ever. The Stand. I am about 400 pages in and I am loving it. The other book I have had the pleasure of reading is 11/22/63. I am new to reading books and reading his books are so addictive. Thanks for the suggestions on this list.

Great video and nice list. As someone who has absolutely no ties to America, it always amazes me that Stephen King draws me in and makes me feel like I belong there.
I think the criticism he received in some places re his ability to write perfect endings was possibly justified but he absolutely nails every other aspect and he has improved his endings too in my opinion.
I started reading his books back in the late 70’s, getting his early novels from my sister who was a fan before me. And I have continued to be a fan up to the present day.
On January 1st this year I decided to go back to the very beginning and read as many of his novels back to back as I can, starting with Carrie. I finished Pet Sematary yesterday so it’s going well and these rereads are bringing back so many memories!

[Audrey]

I’ve just started reading Stephen King’s book which is STAND! I’m glad to know the book is your best one! I feel I chose a right book to read! Thanks for the wonderful video!
