Dreamcatcher: A Novel
Dreamcatcher: A Novel

Review:I can't call this book a typical King's book. The book discription can mislid you to think there's a connection to "It" but it doesn't. the book is about dealing with the past and the present. the book is about a trip gone bad when everyting goes wrong. But in my opinion the book is about King's fighting his own demones. Like in every king's book you can find a character who resamble himself ,and here one of the characters had a resent accidant (like King) and by that his diffrent from everyone ... Read more

Insomnia
Insomnia

Review:Insomnia was a good read. King is a masterful storyteller; the narrative voice, the compelling main characters and the absolutely unstoppable plot are all trademark King features. Still, compared to the other King that I have read, I would rank it somewhere in the middle.
The recent King novels that I read before this were Rage, The Long Walk, The Running Man and Bag of Bones. Insomnia is very obviously a 1990's King; he writes with the kind of dry, New England wit that has come to distinguis... Read more

The Tommyknockers
The Tommyknockers

Review:I really, really tried to make it to the end.
I made it through 450 pages. Then my
teeth started to fall out and I had a compulsion
to go out in the yard and start digging!!!! This was
pretty silly and redundant. Same, same, same, page
after page after page after page. Probably could have
boiled away all of the excess and ended up with a decent
book of about ?? 200 ?? pages or so. This book should
have been beamed to ALTAIR-4. Read more

Rose Madder
Rose Madder

Review:I've never been much of a horror fan, especially of the hack-n-slash genre, but Stephen King's works are generally different because of the plausibility factor. The characters are (generally speaking) normal people involved in something with otherworldly origins.
Founding the story in reality serves to heighten the impact of the supernatural, turning the contrast knob all the way over. In Rose Madder's picture, the reader finds it opens a door in Rosie's heart and mind as much as it does he... Read more

Black House (Talisman Book 2)
Black House (Talisman Book 2)

Review:A fine examination of the nature of evil, and why it seems to congregate in certain places and in certain people. A sequel to the novel "The Talisman," this is a piece that relates to King's Dark Tower series, the Jupiter of his novels, connecting them - and corrupting them. Jack Sawyer is older, wiser, and his memories of the Teritories are coming back at the same time that a serial killer terrorizes western Wisconsin. This is a brilliant collaboration, weighted and uplifted by the two decad... Read more

Desperation
Desperation

Review:When I started reading this book it really caught my attention. The story goes into a very elaborated description of creepy events. I couldn't stop reading because it was very interesting; However, as I got to about 3/4 of the way from finishing this story, the plot unfolded into a wild sequence of unnatural events. It really caught me off guard and the ending was a bit disappointing, not in the sense that I wanted a specific character to win or anything, but how incredibly fictitious it got. I ... Read more

From a Buick 8: A Novel
From a Buick 8: A Novel

Review:Stephen King's most recent novel was perhaps his worst. The story is more of a series of stories all reflecting upon a rather dull, old, Buick which, frankly, isn't scary. The flat plot gradually leads to vapid climax and finally an ending which cannot even satiate the reader's longing to discover some information about the curiously entriging Buick. Instead of suspence and terror, King points out the human proclivity to inquire about the unknown and question questions that cannot be answered. T... Read more

Zodiac
Zodiac

Review:This book was a huge disappointment. I loved Snow Crash & Diamond Age, but I couldnt' even finish reading Zodiac. It's not nearly as engaging as the other books, and most of the time plain out boring. I don't recommend it. Read more

The Black Company (Chronicles of The Black Company #1)
The Black Company (Chronicles of The Black Company #1)

Review:The hero is mighty and just. Despite inner-turmoils regarding love, family, morality, and life, the hero shows infinite compassion to his companions and absolutely no mercy to his enemies.

Welcome to an entirely different kind of medieval fantasy.

If you're sick of all of the monotony of modern medieval fantasy, this series comes highly recommended. I'm a bit of a veteran of medieval fantasy and science fiction, and let me tell you, this book takes the age old cliches and turns the... Read more
