Easily The Shining for me, turned me around from thinking King was eh
The Shining (fuggin' incredible book, the movie and the miniseries both sucked by comparison)
I finished the Shining a few weeks ago (its wayyy better than the movie) and I'm about half way through IT right now.
I have seriously been working on The Shining for over a year. I just can't seem to finish it.
Having watched the movie and heard that the book was also excellent, I was really looking forward to it. But I'm just finding it to be a slow and laborious read.
I'm about 300 pages in and thus far the story is best summed up as, "Arrrghhhh, I'm an alcoholic!" without much else really happening, plot-wise.
