Riding the Bullet

A Chilling Tale

A good bit of spokey material. We can always count on King for that. I recommend this book King fan or not. It's entertaining and well written. Makes you feel like you experienced something weird with the main character.

A Quick Creep!

This is a great short story (44 pages roughly), but don't let the shortness scare you away, it's a great story that has a perfect ratio of creepy to keep you reading through it until the end.

I wish it were actually a longer story, but the plot was great and it read perfectly, so making it longer would probably ruin the story.

Nice ebook to begin with

Ride the Bullet is the first ebook that I've bought. And it's a great one to start with. Although this story is told in very little pages, the plot is quite interesting and tells a big story. I recommend this one to every ebook reader out there.

Amazing

I was skeptical about buying an e-book, thought that they would be boring and hard to read. Boy was I surprised! King is usualy enthralling self. The story is quick and full of surprises. King never forgets to add the human touch to his stories, and this one is no different. Definately read this story.

I would actually give it three and a half

I looked forward to reading Riding The Bullet and found the beginning very good, the middle fascinating, and the end a bit of a let-down. Usually, King's horror stories build up to quite a climax, leaving the reader spellbound. Unfortunately, not it this case. King proves that he can still write horror, and that he is a master at dream description. His main character is well written, and in a short span, the reader knows quite a bit about him. It's kind of frustrating...the first two thirds of Riding The Bullet crackle with suspense and brilliant writing, making the so-so ending that much more nerve-racking.

Short but good

This book was a quick read but still good. I think that the shortness of the story took away from the emotional impact, however, I think that if Stephin King would have tried to draw it out to a longer length the story wouldn't have been as good as it was.

It was definitely worth purchasing and more than worth the time to read.

King heading back to form?

I wonder how much his accident has affected him? This isn't brilliant horror but it's full of the classic King style. Ending's a little weak, otherwise more stars. Horror fits well on the E-Book, in my view. I've been buying more and more this way.

Totally different scenario

This was great, especially in light of it's circumstances of development. Some think it had a letdown for an ending... But isn't that how most dreams end, just kind of fading with the light of dawn? After all, if they didn't, would we survive them? I give it a '5', 'cause I enjoyed it on screen in about how long it took to download it!

good read and more.....!

This is a good story with a special ending. It's a thoughtful tale, a quick 'page turner' and told with a sensitivity I found refreshing. I was never bored for a sec....and isn't that what we all REALLY like?

Disappointment From This Fan

I have read several of Stephen's book and am usually impressed with not only the interesting subject matter but the way the writing takes me away into another world. I was very disappointed in this book. I read it in my Franklin Rocket eBook and felt it was a very derivative work and we deserved more from such a build-up. Hope to see more eBooks though.

Very Good

A very good read! I am not the biggest Stephen King fan,however, this story might make me one. I finished it in about 3 hours. No wasted words or storyline. A very tight and well written story. I recommend this one. Like someone mentioned in another review, this is a great first read for people who are just gettin into ebooks.

Good book

I like Stephen King. and this was a good book to read. Worth the money

Riding the bullet

Excellent short read. Never put it down.

Good Quick Read

Not sure you can call this typical Steven King but it certainly was a quick, good read. If you are a fan of King then you shouldn't pass this one up. Easy read for a sleepless night.

Kinda dissapointed.. not what I was expecting. :(

The story was okay but I didn't love it. I don't think it was worth the money though. I was a bit dissappointed, for I bought it with high expectations. I have a friend who really loves Kings' books so I thought I'd cheack him out. I really thought this would be scarier and more exciting. I don't think I'm going to be reading any Stephen King books in the near future. :(
