I recently re-read Secret Window Secret Garden, and was just as impressed, not to mention chilled, as I was first time round. I read Colorado Kid too and liked it for what it was (a genuine true mystery - not even the author knew who done it), though I seriously doubt that an author less known would have got past the slush pile with it.Gary Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03727842682290280425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1158928895689439152006-09-22T07:41:00.000-05:002006-09-22T07:41:00.000-05:00I did read The Colorado Kid, which I should have m...I did read <I>The Colorado Kid</I>, which I should have mentioned. A strange book for King, but I thought it worked pretty well.mybillcriderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02350478005243505108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1158914164716214602006-09-22T03:36:00.000-05:002006-09-22T03:36:00.000-05:00You could like The Colorado Kid, Bill.

I liked it, even though I'd lost interest in King already in the late eighties.Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-1158861031123118962006-09-21T12:50:00.000-05:002006-09-21T12:50:00.000-05:00I was late starting to read King.

Sometimes I wish that other writers would get to know the language better before going to print. <BR/><BR/>I was impressed, believe it or not, with the pulp offering <I>The Colorado Kid</I> published a year ago by Hard Case Crime.<BR/><BR/>Happy Birthday, Mr. King.Benjiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155472883124774755noreply@blogger.com
