Book Reviews of Skeleton Crew
Book Review: Full of twists and turns, Skeleton Crew is a must have
Summary: 5 Stars
Skeleton Crew along with Night Shift are my favorite short story collections by King. I really liked "The Mist", "The Jaunt", "The Raft" and especially loved "Word Processor of the Gods" and "The Reaper's Image". My very favorite story is "Nona", it freaked me out for days! Another reviewer compares these stories to a Tales From the Crypt episode. I would really agree, they are great, suspensful, and full of horror and twists. This is a fabulous read.Book Review: Great !

This is the first Stephen King book I have read. I am a fan of his movies, (It, Needfull Things, Stand by Me, Creepshow, etc.), and I decided to read one of his books. It was terrific. My favorite stories were Nona and The Mist. I deeply recomend that you read it if you are a first time Stephen King reader or a devoted fan. Now that I read this book, I think I'm hooked on Stephen King. I am now going to Carrie, and I am going to get 'Salem's Lot and The Shining,Book Review: Vintage Stephen King
Summary: 5 Stars
Skeleton Crew is second only to Night Shift as my favorite among King's short story collections, and it's second by about inches. Great book! The novella "The Mist" starts this anthology off with just the right tone, and then tales like "Nona" "The Reaper's Image" and "The Jaunt"--the only King story that ever really scared me--continue that nice touch of unreality. This is among King's best books of all time and would be a bargain at many times its price.Book Review: Great for teens
Summary: 5 Stars
I'm not a big Stephen King fan but Skeleton Crew is spectacular. I worked for three years as a summer camp counselor and when you have a group of 15 year old boys, they don't want to hear cheesy ghost stories or little kid stories. I read them a few of King's short stories and they LOVED them. While his Novels tend to drone on a bit too much for my taste, his short stories are just right. Check out "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" too.Book Review: Fantastic book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my favourite Stephen King book. "The Mist" was a masterfully written story, which will provoke nightmares (and "daymares") for years to come. "The Reach" was a very different sort of story, very touching and reassuring about the world of the dead ("Do the dead sing? Do they love?"). I reread it after my father died and it brought a lot of comfort--this from Stephen King!
