*StarO* A review from "WdC SuperPower Reviewers GroupOpen in new Window.*StarO*




*PenB* First Impressions:

I'm just popping in with a quick review for your word search! I've developed a taste for them recently - I blame WebWitch *Laugh* - and they are perfect to chill for a few minutes. I don't think I'm particularly good at them though. It takes me about ten minutes to solve one which, I guess, is quite slow, but they're fun to do.

You've picked some great books here. I used to love Stephen King when I was younger. I thought some of his earlier books were amazing, and my favourite is The Dark Tower series which I've recently read again. But you had some other excellent ones in here as well, like 'Salem's Lot, The Stand and The Green Mile. At first I was looking for The Shawshank Redemption, another favourite of mine, but of course that wasn't a novel (even though they managed to turn it into a rather long movie!)


*PenG* Suggestions:

I recently learned about the issues with apostrophes in word searches, which apparently can't be processed properly, and you avoided them with the book titles here. The only one that would have needed one is 'Salem's Lot (technically, it needs two) but you went with "Salem Lot" instead. I don't know if it would work better to make that "Salems Lot" because without the "s", it just looks wrong. The easiest option would probably be to not include it and pick a different title, but you can't have a list of Stephen King books without it!


*PenP* Final Thoughts:

I have to admit that there were a lot of books I didn't know. I stopped reading Stephen King in the late 1990s when I didn't find them that engaging anymore (with the exception of The Dark Tower). Someone told me not long ago that his latest books are better again, so I might give it another go.

Thanks for a fun word search!
