But along the confusion is the intrigued feeling. I was confused at first but it is totally understandable because the story was written in a nonlinear narrative way. I was like, “What the hell is happening?” when Lena tells Jasmine that she wants her to break Zack and Kimmy up. At the beginning, I must admit that I didn’t understand how the story really goes. Can Jasmine sort out her feelings (sometimes, she can’t even tell real from pretend when it comes to her and Zack) before it’s too late? A few years later, she still has to keep convincing people that they were never together! Then one day, she finds out he’s getting married-to someone she’d just met once! All of a sudden, things aren’t so clear-cut anymore. ![]() When Zack asks Jasmine to pretend to be his ex-girlfriend, she gamely agrees, thinking it would be fun. ![]() Enjoyable, intriguing, and breath-taking. ![]() ![]() ![]() “Valentine is one of Adriana Trigiani’s most winsome characters (yes, she even rivals the Big Stone Gap gang).

![]() ![]() Without further ado, here's each novel in The Dark Tower series ranked from worst to best. King created a complex storyline that connects his entire book universe, and while this was welcomed, some of the installments suffered as a result on making by this facet a focal point. It is also the only true series that he has in his repertoire. With over 200 short stories and 61 full-length novels, with number 62 set to release in 2021, The Dark Tower series takes up a decent portion of the author's bibliography. Related: Why The Stand Series Could Be The Best Stephen King TV Adaptation So Far It is intertwined with Insomnia, 'Salem's Lot, IT, and several other novels. At its core, The Dark Tower serves as a means of connecting the Stephen King multiverse and all of its fictional characters, towns, and monsters. Despite the series' incredibly captivating storyline, the movie received poor reviews. Much like his other novels, The Dark Tower was adapted into a feature-length movie starring Idris Elba as the gunslinger, Roland Deschain, and Matthew McConaughey as Walter Padick.

Although it was published in 1927, it evokes an older world: houses are lit by oil lamps, and travel is by horse, carriage – or broomstick. ![]() The Midnight Folk is a feast of imaginative story-telling, a glorious cornucopia of pirates and witches, lost treasure and talking animals. ![]() ![]() The evil Abner Brown is searching for it too, but Kay is helped by the midnight folk: creatures like Nibbins the cat and Rollicum Bitem Lightfoot the fox, and even his lost toys, who will join him on his dangerous quest. Life is lonely and dull, until one night Kay’s great-grandpapa Harker, a sea captain, steps out of his portrait to tell him about a stolen treasure that belongs to Kay’s family.
