| | Obviously for fans of the renowned author, this collection asks trivia questions involving King or his works, offers hints, and ultimately the answers. His works are further broken down into separate chapters re the novels, novellas, and short stories. Other chapters include his books written as Richard Bachman and the Dark Tower series. Finally, his movies, non-fiction endeavors, and miscellaneous musings fill up three more segments of the lighthearted entertaining book. Fans of Mr. King will fully enjoy this seemingly complete trivia homage that digs as deeply as anything you can find, for instance asking which Red Sox player had his name misspelled in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. The illustrations add eerie depth as well as posing additional trivia questions associated with them. Clearly aimed at King-philes like the SKEMERS (Stephen King E-Mailers), whose founder Michelle L. Revelle provides an afterward, casual fans of the author will also enjoy this fun book. Of course adding to the pleasure, this reviewer trounced her spouse. | | |
