Review: Very enjoyable but not Sthpens normal book. This is a traditional Fairy Tale. It is an easy, quick read, but you will enjoy it very much. Do not go in looking for horror or you will finish very disappointed.

Summary: Wow!
Review: I really enjoyed reading this book. As a few have already mentioned, King wrote this for his
children. so it isn't as gruesome as his other works, but having said that, it is still a
fantastic read. There are still characters you really care about and there are baddies you love to
hate! Including a certain villain who goes by the name of Randall Flagg. (you may have heard of him)

It's similarities to the Tower series made this all the more enjoyable for me. Especially as we all wait for the conclusion of that series.

This is a story that I would gladly give to any teenager to read were they able to tear
herself away from watching t.v. or the internet for long enough!!! Many people have said that they can't imagine
many kids today enjoying this book as it's a bit too wordy and long, but considering how many read the Harry Potter books i suspect kinds will handle this one too...
Those books aren't much different to this one in the way they are wordy and long.

This is a wonderful tale of good vs evil that needs to be read more than once. Try it yourself and
sit back and enjoy.
its one of those books when its all over you qu4estion how you didnt see the ending coming... its clever yet simple...
A wonderful book....

Thank you Mr. King.

Summary: The Crimson King
Review: It's really one of my favorite books. It's got just about everything you could want for a good action suspense fantasy book. And it just tells a great story, an evil magician who sets the rightful Prince up and puts the wrong guy on the thrown. And the Prince has somehow got to get out of his prison and save there land. Now who wouldn't want to read about that?

Summary: Shocking, in a good Way
Review: I had always known of Stephen King, well you would have to have lived in a hole to not know who he is, but I never really got into him. I tried reading "IT" several years ago(I was in Freshman Year of High School), and only got about 150 pages in, which would be a good dent into some books, but a 1100 page book, its just barely scratching the surface. I finally got into the hype and have been reading King vehemently for the past few months. I wanted to read the Dark Tower series, and knew that a lot of his other works are referenced(either in passing(such as Flagg in here), or play a major part(Most of Insomnia)), in the universe he has created. So I have been reading those, and Eyes of the Dragon was one of the first ones I took on, as it was a bit less frightening looking(pagewise), than IT or the Stand(which I am currently reading), or most of the others.

This book took me completely by surprise, I knew it was not going to be like the rest of his, as it was a more true fantasy book, than anything to really scare you. It was an amazing book I believe, because I did not have much hope in it being as good as it was, seeing it was written for his kids, I expected something a bit more "kiddie," and this was definately not it. It was quite adult in how the story, while turning out for the ebst, is actually a terrible thing to read to children if you have not read it beforehand, and know how to twist words around to make it seem a lot nice than it is.

Flagg being in this book, was the best part, but the whole book is great, and seeing it does take place in Gilead, while it may not be the same time, or same one, is a mammoth part of the tale of Roland(the name of the old King here), and the backbone of the Dark Tower series.

Summary: A great example of King's interwoven dark tower plot lines
Review: I really enjoyed this book. It is not quite as fast paced as some of his other novels, but it also doesn't involve insane demonic clowns or killer plagues. It is a great romp in the hay for any lover of the fantasy genre.
However, if you are a lover of King's Dark Tower series, this book offers a great and personal glimpse at the past of one of the most deliciously vile characters to skip through King's work. I am talking about Flagg the magician, also known as Randall Flagg (The Stand), The sorcerer Martin (Gunslinger, Wizard and Glass).
Obviously this book has many levels of enjoyment, so hunker down and enjoy a good 'ol time.
