What Stephen King Novel Is Better?

Question

What Stephen King novel is better: Misery or Needful Things?

I think they're both terrific books, but if I had to choose one, I'd have to say: Misery.

Answer 1

Misery is brilliant, but then I am a big S K fan and love all his books!

Answer 2

I could not get through needful things.  So Misery.

Answer 3

I think Misery is the best of the two also.

But Carrie is my favourite novel, and On Writing my favourite book.

Answer 4

I prefer Dolorise Clayborn but I think misery is good also.

Answer 5

Of those two my favorite is definitely Misery.  

Answer 6

i liked needful things the best of those two.  i tried reading misery several times and havent finished it.

im rereading the dark tower series though and i super love it even more than the first time

Answer 7

"Misery" is a great book - I think I like the plausibility of the horror. It's also written surprisingly well (I think King gets a little tedious after a while).

But, I should say even though it is ultimately not very plausible "It" is another fine book. The big old thing (1000+ pages) got me through my third trimester! I savored it, not wanting it to end. It is well written and the characters are fleshed-out. I found it compelling.

Answer 8

Misery is just creepy...so definitely that one.
