I've since gone back and read all of these "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" was last on my list. At that time, I didn't always finish the books I started, and there were several Stephen King books lying around unfinished, not due any lack of quality in the writing, but more my own short attention span. Review 2: ***1/2I've had this collection on my shelf longer than most of my books, having picked it up when I was a kid. I gave up on Stephen King a long time ago and should have stuck to my gu. Stephen King writes monster-sized books for a reason because he cannot come to the damn point and even in a short story he rambles to the point of madness about inconsequential details that detract from the story or just have no bearing. I was able to get through the first five but even listening to this in the car, I cannot force myself to listen to anymore of this crap. I picked up three volumes of Nightmares and Dreamscapes in a used bookstore for $1 each and now I know why they are in perfect condition because no one could get past the first set. They are so boring, pointless and worthless. Damn it I know better than to read short stories. Review 1: I know better, I know better, I know better.
