Rating: Summary: Lots of mistakes Review: As the other reviewer said, there are too many mistakes in this quiz book to make the book of any value. This biggest mistake is that it describes Morgan Sloat as Jack's father's Twinner in the Territories (The Talisman). I would guess nobody bothered to check his answers or proofread his work.
Rating: Summary: Why did he even bother... Review: IF you are a Stephen King fan, such as myself, and you have read this book, i'm sure that you would agree that Bly knows little about King. This book is plagued with mistakes, which i cannot even list. Bly should learn to chec his sources.
Rating: Summary: All King fans should read this review Review: This man has obviously not read a single one of Stephen King's books with any attention to detail or storyline. There are so many errors in this quiz book that I wonder exactly how many books he actually cracked the cover on! Just a few examples are: in the The Dark Tower III quiz, "What is the name of Jake's pet dog?" This book takes place in a fictional world & Jake's pet is a fictional animal called a billy bumbler....a far cry from a canine. In the same quiz "What are the first 4 lines in Jack's school essay..." JACK? Who the heck is Jack?!? He just finished calling the boy by his correct name, JAKE, in three previous questions! In the "IT" quiz "How many teenage children originally confront It in Derry, Maine?" First of all, they're either teenagers or they're children....not both. Secondly, the characters in question were 11-years-old...hardly teenagers. In fact, that is the whole point of the novel...that only CHILDREN can conquer the beast because of their ability to believe. Finally, in "The Stand" quiz, "What song does Tim Cullen sing after he opens his Christmas gifts from Stu?" TIM Cullen?!?!? Even people who've only seen the movie can remember that the man's name is Tom Cullen. He says it repeatedly. These are just a few of the numerous mistakes in this book. All in all, this is a [sad] excuse for a quiz book and should only be read by true King fans if they're looking for a few painful laughing fits. If you're looking for an authentic Stephen King quiz book, I suggest trying one of Steve Spignesi's quiz books....now THERE'S a man who knows the master!
