Lea Ann Cornman asked this question about Mr. Mercedes (Bill Hodges Trilogy, #1):

I read a couple of Stephen King novels a few years back....Needful Things and Insomnia. I had a very hard time getting through these and frankly found them boring. I then heard great things about 11/22/63 and I read it earlier this Spring and LOVED, it. What is this one like? I have not read any older King either, Cujo, Firestarter....etc. I want to like King's novels, but I don't want to be disappointed either.

Alan Braswell I heard from Stephen King that two of his worst books that he wrote were TommyKnockers and Dreamchacters.

As far as Insomnia, you have to have read the Dark Tower series to understand half of what is in Insomnia.
The ones i recommend in the older Stephen King novels are The Shining, Pet Semetary, Misery and IT.
The ones you mentioned Cujo goes on for about 100 pages with the women and her son in the car.
Firestarter is not that entertaining. You will get bored easily.
I liked the Eye of the Dragon which no one ever recommends/(less)
