    Stephen King novels that are underrated!

    Stephen King is one of the most known authors there is, right? But he has soooo many novels that many dont know of or they dont get enough credit...

    for example, Bag of Bones... awesome read! And it really dont get as much shout as it should!

    Anyone got a SK novel that isnt mainstream thats a favorite for them?

    Interesting list.

    My top five underrated King novels/novellas would be:

    Lisey's Story
    From a Buick 8
    The Colorado Kid
    Gerald's Game
    The Breathing Method (novella in Different Seasons--which certainly isn't an underrated work)
    "I'm a vegan. "

        I'll never understand why From a Buick 8 isn't more popular.

          For me From a Buick 8 is a decent story but not a top book so it does not make my underrated list. Insomnia would probably not make to many lists but it makes mine.

                Yes but The Stand was not part of the conversation!

                  I can't really put together a list, however.... I've seen lots of love or hate for Insomnia. Does that make it under rated???? I really enjoyed it.

                    I would agree Insomnia appears to fall into two groups, love it or hate it. I consider it my second favorite King novel and I see it one few top lists for King stories. That is why I consider it underrated.

                          'Salem's Lot is far and away my favorite King book, but it's in no way underrated .

                            It certainly isn't.
                            I think it's overrated.....
