This has to be the most upside down ranking video of Stephen king books I have ever seen! AND I absolutely love it hahaha! I appreciate somehow who has a differing opinion on art. How you enjoy something is entirely subjective and love that you have no qualms whatsoever to feel how you feel. Honestly, when I rank his books it’s very hard to NOT be swayed by how I know “the general consensus” feels. I try to really see how I enjoyed it or not.

I will say I have some hot takes too on some of his classics! But, other classics of his I absolutely love. I always love seeing how differently everyone ranks his works. Awesome video! Cheers

11/22/63 is simply the greatest King book this side of the year 2000 and by a long way too. It's a underrated masterpiece that in my opinion can rival anything else he has written ... ever. All entertainment is subjective of course, so there is no right and wrong way to feel, it's how each individual reacts to what they find entertaining.

That’s a good point about Cujo, once you get into Stephen King you start to love his set ups and learning about characters before the action/horror

always cool to see these lists with different perspectives and many surprises. its always nice to hear people appreciate Eyes of The Dragon i also find it to be underrated and fun to read through.
also i really dig the hoodie you have.

The uncut version of The Stand is very unwieldy, but it has a late 80's / early 90's energy that crackles.  Every scene with Randall Flagg is iconic and brilliantly written.  Easily some of his most terrifying prose ever in his entire canon of work.

Dead zone is one of his best works . Really underrated

Duma Key is one of my favorites.  If I did a list, it would definitely be in the top ten.  Also, ‘The Dead Zone’ was the first Stephen King book I ever read. I was in the fourth grade. I ended up reading it three times back to back. Loved it. Misery was the second book I read of his and that is my favorite.

in each and every one of the stephen king ranking videos i’ve watched, i always skip to the top ten. everyone’s is different, it’s awesome!

Putting It below Desperation is wild

Love the hoodie! Now THAT'S my kind of camouflage.

Ahhh Duma Key. I remember being 16yo and reading it while on summer vacation in Brazil with my dad. Beautiful memories

The dead zone i saw it in the theater way back then i loved it there were some scary parts that had me on the edge of my seat. Now in real life there are people who have the ability to actually see things before it actually happens those are the gifted ones

duma key being no. 6 - SO FUKING HAPPY! it's such an underrated book. i was waiting throughout for it cuz it tends to be so low on other people's lists. was actually praying you didn't completely miss it when it got to the top 10.

As an ambitious, eager reader at a young age (elementary), I remember countless times picking up my dad’s SK novels, and trying to read them for about 10 pages. The Tommy Knockers, Green Mile, and Gerald’s Game at the least. As I got older, I heard rumblings from my uncles about the greatness of the Dark Tower cycle, and was intrigued by the hints of titanic buildings, and grand narratives. At 17, I conducted some research, and picked-up the same edition of The Stand as you have, with plans to read the first DT afterwards. I loved it, but after about 250ish pages, I got distracted by life, school, loves and despairs. It’s sat on my shelf for 6 or so years, mark still on the same page where I left-off.

Just recently, my buddy read Carrie, and gave me his new, battered copy to read, unasked.  I sped through it in less than a week, and the hunger’s awakened in me again. First I gotta finish Children of Dune, but I really wanna tackle The Stand again. But god, is the prospect of starting over painful. I wonder if I should just spark-notes the first chunk like I’m back in high-school, writing an essay the night before a due date.

This is such an excellent video. I must have missed Lisey's Story but I was for some reason expecting it to be number one lol. You really know your King!

I'm a little late to this video but I was so happy to see Duma Key getting the love it deserves! My 2nd favorite King book of all time and SO underrated.

It's always so fascinating to me how diverse opinions can be regarding King. Personally I had a blast reading Fairy Tale but Pet Sematary was so boring I wanted to chuck it out the window.

I really appreciate your very different takes on some of those classics! Great video!

I really recommend grover gardners audiobook reading of the stand (if you haven't already) he makes the characters jump off the page. Its only audiobook ive ever listened too that i was glued to every page. And a lot of it was his narrating.

I disagree on many points, but I still respect your opinion and your list
