Summary: Mr. King "blurs the line" and suspends disbelief so smoothly
Review: "Chilling" is the best description for this trip into the imagination of Stephen King and his characters. You hate 'em, you love 'em and you feel the beads of sweat on their foreheads.... This was a grimy read, and I was amazed at my discomfort and growing anxiety as the plot developed and then exploded... What a trip!!! Highly recommend it.

Summary: Sun Dog
Review: I absolutely loved this book! The Sun Dog had me on the edge of my seat, biting my fingernails and scared to pick up an instamatic camera ever again! It was one of King's best. At the end of the book, however, there's a mention of a sequel - and I've been waiting for that for some time - I hope it happens....

Summary: Antique Camera Takes Own Pictures Of Ever-Emerging Dog
Review: So the story is that this shady antique dealer sells a camera that keeps autonomously spitting out photos Polariod-style of a dog that gets closer and closer. What kind of a plot for a novel is that? It would take a better writer than King to create a good book from such a flimsy premise.

Summary: A wonderful, Thoughtful piece of Fiction
Review: The Sun Dog was frightening as much as it was touching. Stephen King is America's greatest living writer. I loved it.

Summary: Journeyman work by the master
Review: This review refers mostly to the unabridged cassette version.Typical Stephen King story. Starts out great and is fun getting there but far to often the ending (just like this story) is unsatisfying. The story involves a young teen who get a polaroid camera that does far more than take regular snap shots. Not really unique story telling but there are a number of interesting characters in the story. In particular Pop Merrill. A character so intricately drawn, that it is hard to tell if he is a good guy or a bad guy. Overall I liked this story but I don't feel Mr. King put his all in this story. First off there is darn near a metaphor on every single page. I can't begin to count the number of times a sentence went something like " . . . it was like . . ." Another problem with the story is that it contained a number of flash forwards that went nowhere. One character has a flash forward but dies before the previously mentioned flash forward can come to pass. And the ending . . . Well, I won't ruin anything, but if you are familiar with these type of stories, you will not be surprised. A hesitant recommendation, perhaps a library book more than a book store purchase. The audio cassette version read by Tim Sample is superbly done. He is able to carry off all the voices and his Pop Merrill is so nicely done, at times it seems it was a different reader.
