Summary: Is Richard Bachman writing under the name of Eleanor Druse?
Review: While reading, I got a stange sense of deja vu..."For one instant I stood outside of time, much the way one does in a textbook mystical experience"... and I remembered when I first read the Richard Bachman books. I remembered my youthful innocence and how I never suspected that Steven King WAS Richard Bachman. Oh well. It's different this time. I'm much older, and I'm reviewing a Stephen King novel here. Unfortunately, I didn't enjoy this one very much. The language seemed awkward and clumsy, almost as if SK was trying too hard to "sound like" Eleanor somebody-else. The plot just didn't draw me in the way some of King's best work has. (I thought the real reason for some of the plot elements was to make way for the sequel(s).) As for the setting, pick one: Haunted Hospital on the site of a Civil War Textile Mill, Pet Semetary, Haunted Hotel; they all seem interchangeable to me now, and repetitive.) Of course, SK can make just about anything readable. And he did it here, even though he didn't seem to be trying very hard. Reviewer: Linda Painchaud

Summary: How does it end??
Review: Working steady 3-11, I am not able to keep up with the Kingdom Hospital TV series. I read the book thinking I'd get to the end and KNOW what happens. Well....It ain't there. No ending. No clue to the ending. It only sucks you in to watching the series.
Unless there are going to be more journals??
