I'm disappointed he didn't write a review or something...
man if all HIS fans went to see 'Serenity' then it would be a major box office hit! LOL

Yay Steve! He's my favorite author of all time. Working on the Dark Tower series right now.

I would have felt better if he wrote more, but maybe he will bring in more people so YAY!

Steve has good taste and often good recommendations. I've read and enjoyed a lot of books he's recommended over the years.

Shiny!

Wish Mr King had gotten around to this say opening weekend in hopes his thumbs up would have given some influence to some of his fans to go see the film sooner. Not to sound ungrateful or anything.

Hopefully his nod will still get some people to give "Serenity" a try.

Truly Shiny, but I'm honestly not surprised. I've been reading Stephen King for longer than I care to say, and whether you like the genre or not, he is a superb writer. His work, like Joss's, is highly character driven, and he has that same ability to put you into the shoes of a character with whom, on the surface at least, you have nothing in common. And a lot of his characters are flawed, ordinary people just trying to get by, like our BDHs. Of course, he GETs Joss Wheadon--and how could anybody not love it?

Whoops! Sorry about the misspelling. I guess "A" just comes to mind when I think about Joss!

He is also about one of *the* only authors who understand enough about the new market place of the digital media and distribution channels that he was willing to "give away" the first couple chapters of that novel -online available for downloading - to see what it would do with good fans.
