Stephen King - to slap him round the face for disappointing me with his more recent novels esp Under the dome. He appears to no longer be able to write endings.
Suzi, I watched the tv adaptation of Under the Dome and was bitterly disappointed at how it was left
Mine are:
Rachel Caine
Jane Austen
Jean M Auel
Sara Douglass
Taran Mattharu
Mine are real chic lit writers but here they are:
Marion Keys
Sheila O'Flannaign
Emma Hannigan
Maeve Binchy
The main bit of the book was brilliant - really gripping, really great, but the ending was just so bad! It was worse than "and then they woke up and discovered it was a dream.."Quote:

When I was doing research for our East end walks I bumped into David icke and we had a fascinating if surreal hour long chat about the illuminate and how the Royal families are a connected by various bloodlines. Fascinating stuff.
I would also like to meet patricia Cornwall and Donald rumbalow
Nope, I haven't read those ones yet... I've got several.... but now I'm so disillusioned I just don't know if I can bring myself to read them yet...Quote:

I definitely prefer his older novels to the new ones. Though I enjoyed 'Doctor Sleep'
I've got a copy, but haven't read it until I knew someone else could reassure me the end wasn't crap - was it?
If I'm honest, I can't really remember the end...
Cool.....
I watched a movie called the dark tower.
There was Not a single character in the film I could connect with.
It was dull as dish water.
It's based on the book purple.
