1. Favorite book and why?
My favourite book is a collection of short stories called Different Seasons by Stephen King. This work includes: The Shawshank Redemption, Apt Pupil, The Body, and The Breathing Method. These stories are fictional, but they could happen to you someday.

2. Least favorite book and why?
Insomnia is King's worst book. So many pages about colours and plateaus. I love everything by King, but I couldn't even finish this book as it made no sense.

3. Favorite scene in favorite book and why?
My favourite scene from Different Seasons is in Shawshank Redemption when Andy Dufresne digs a hole through the wall and escapes. It is only fair that he escapes as he is wrongly imprisoned to begin with.

4. Favorite character and why?
Andy Dufresne--he shows everyone that he is innocent and that innocence will prevail.

5. Which character do you identify most with and why?
Susan Norton in 'Salems Lot. She is very gutsy, and is not afraid to be alone.

6. If you could see a sequel to one of the author's books, which would it be and what would it be about?
It would be a sequel to the novel Apt Pupil. I'd just like to see what happens to Todd Bowden after he goes on his killing spree.

7. What do you like about author's writing style?
I love the fact that he keeps you guessing. He'll have you think the complete opposite as to what will actually be the outcome.

8. What are your favorite themes of this author?
Horror. He is very goos at writing horror that is truly suspenseful.

9. What could be most improved about this authors books?
The cost. In Ontario, Canada a 500 page Stephen King book costs $10.99, and a 1000 page book by him costs the same.

Something about yourself
I am a 17 year old female, and am looking forward to going into grade 12 this year in my home town of London, Ontario. I am also an avid reader of Stephen King.
