I liked Christine alright ,just found his switching of first person to third back to first was really awkward. Loved Cujo, I just found Firestarter a snore. But Needful Things is one of my favorites. I love w hen a bad guy turns the "good guys" against each other with only their own weaknesses.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:47:17 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=12735&PID=194944#194944 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10953&PID=194943#194943 Author: FinalExam

Before he got there, he hooked up with Xena and Gabrielle. Really, it happened, I saw it on TV.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:45:32 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10953&PID=194943#194943 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=9812&PID=194942#194942 Author: FinalExam

A: REmember it well and fondly. I miss blocks of videos, I miss VJs, I miss it all. The new MTV kind of makes me sick. If they want to change the format fine but stop calling it MUSIC television.

Similar to the publisher originally going with J.K. Rowling because they didn't think little boys would read a wizarding adventure series written by a woman. Proved them wrong.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 05:41:41 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194941#194941 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=13295&PID=194940#194940 Author: brotheroddkins

Yeah, because those crazy Gods held him up.

Yeah, she had some type of cancer that kept mostly immobile. The most interesting thing about her whole story was that the publishing company only used the name V. C. Andrews because they didn't think that men would read suspense/thrillers written by a woman. Wow, times have changed.]]> Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:45:13 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194937#194937 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194936#194936 Author: TheFirTree

I checked out the Wikipedia page for V C Andrews as you guys discussing her made me curious...

...she seemed to have had quite a sad life if the second page of this article is anything to go by...(I liked the mention of His Dark Materials too, I enjoyed that trilogy)...

Her Dark Materials

I seem to be addicted to posting links, hopefully I'll get over this soon...]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 20:28:06 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=10030&PID=194936#194936 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=12735&PID=194935#194935 Author: TheFirTree

Responding to posts on page 1 of this thread:

Needful Things was great, I especially liked the plotline with the woman suffering from arthritis...Found out recently that NT was partially SK's comment on the Reagan years...

Christine, Cujo + Firestarter are all SK's I enjoyed...I'd been told Christine was a turkey but I liked it...]]> Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:50:05 +0000 http://freshlinks.net/forum//forum_posts.asp?TID=12735&PID=194935#194935
