There were a few but Gerald's Game is definately up there. Others that might get my vote are: Dolores Caliborne, Insomnia, and the Tom Gordon book.
I love King but sometimes he's still hard for me to get into for about 100 pages or so. I've read all his stuff at least twice though and I buy everything when it first comes out.

Rose Madder, Desperation, and The Regulators (Under other name, Bachman). Those are my favorites.
From a Buick 8 was weird, I did not feel it at all. Nightmares and Dreamscapes were horrible. All of the books with a bunch of little stories in them I did not really like.
"It" is an all-star fave, and I liked Misery, and it is the only movie adaptation of his books that I like.
Dolores Claiborne was OK.
Gerald's Game? Not so much. Many were turned off by that, as was I.
Never was really in the Dark Tower stuff.
The Dark Half was a SUPER good one.

Least favorite? Interesting question...I happened to love Gerald's Game. My least favorite is probably Carrie, just because I've seen the movie so many times that I just couldn't finish the book - I tried probably three times and just couldn't! Same with Cujo and Firestarter. Saw the movies too many times before I read them.

First off, what is a bool?
Gerald's Game was... off. Don't even remember why, but I read it once and never again.
Dreamcatcher: super retard aliens. W. T. F.
The Library Policeman. I was traumatized by that one. Can't read it anymore.
Favorite non-Dark Tower: It
Favorite Dark Tower: The Waste Lands
Favorite Bachman: Rage

I loved, I mean favorite series ever the dark tower 1 thru 3. I must have read those books at least 5 times each. The 4th one, was a bit weaker but I thought it was a good read.
However book 5,6,7 just was terrible :(

I didn't like Gerald's Game either, but I think Rose Madder was pretty bad and Insomnia was a big let down, even thought initial concept was interesting.

I've learn frequently something that relates to The Dark Tower sequence, which is almost all of his paintings. Especially It and The Stand. I have a truly love-hate dating with King, even though. I consider he is a nice storyteller, and nice creator however his sort generally is a little excessive.

I was a major fan of his work while I was growing up. Gerald's Game was the last one of his books that I read, and it completely turned me off of his work.

I believe I have to agree with you - "Gerald's Game" just didn't work for me, somehow. It felt confused, and seemed to ramble in a lot of directions, none of which was particularly interesting.
