Summary: AWESOME! (4 and 1/2)
Review: I'd give it and 1/2 but I rounded it up to five.
This is the second King book I read- THe Green Mile being the first. I don't care what other reviewers said- I LOVED it. No it's not Tolkien but what is? It's a light read thats entertaining and fun.
NO it may not be the best written book but it's interesting and it kept my attention. The drawings were also beautiful. My fav character happened to be Sasha- I wanted to know more about her.
I like how King used the "storyteller" narrative. I thouoght it was more interesting than if he used just a regular third point perspective.

Summary: Dabbling in Fantasy...
Review: When King set out to write 'The Eyes of the Dragon', it was at the urging of his daughter and his first hand try at fantasy. Although semi-well written for King, the book never fails to fully emerse it self in the true fantasy Genre. King still gives the reader that filmy feeling of horror even when what was is occuring upon the pages is obviously fantasy. Set in a world of King's own design with characters thrown in and disguised as others in this novel (Roland, Flagg etc...) Partially aided by the drawnings of David Palladini, these serve only as a mild distractor in the novel. Not occuring in evenly distributed enough intervals, they provide a well done visual interpretation of the decription of characters in the novel they still serve no other purpose in the novel. One down side of this story is the, one sided yet also in the same sense filled with incredible depth, was the character of 'Flagg' the antagonist of the novel and also one of those "other charcaters" from Kings other novels. Flagg plays in an intersting villain and one finds themselves strangely drawn into his chapater narrations yet also midly dissapointed in his lack of real personal development. Flagg, was just evil. Although hints of his past were briefly touched upon, it was not enough to explain why Flagg was so truely evil nor was it enough to add that extra sense of sympathy one is supposed to feel for a villain in a story with real depth. For some stories that works beautifully, giving us a real defined villain that we can easily identify and have some odd sense of comfort as the main character would, of knowing just who we are up against. What should have worked for this story, did not. The only true charcater with an real depth was the heros younger brother. With whom we see a character who both makes mistakes and makes us despise him and sympathize with him all in the same sense. For his first attempt at fantasy king does a mediocre job that gives us a novel that's although is a good read. Is not one of his novels that should be taken to seriously, for it's abundancy of flaws. "The Eyes of the Dragon" is an optional choice for reading.

Summary: Absolutely delightful story
Review: This is a strange fantasy/fiary tale from King, and even though it is almost completely dissimilar from his other books, its still equally sucessful. It's a rather basic story. But then, that fits with exactly the type of story it is. A fantasy fable of the kings/princes/magicians type, with intrigue, romance and adventure thrown in. It centres mainly on the plot of the dark magician Flagg to throw the Kingdom of Delain into turmoil, by killing the King anf framing the eldest son, thereby leaving the throne open to the younger heir, who he has shaped over the years so that he will have greater control over the land. But, there is still a loyal band of followers who believe the natural heir is innocent...and all the while he himself, incarcerated in the top of the Needle, a huge tower, is plotting his escape to prove his innocence... There's little to surprise here, and the basic story is slightly predictable, but that doesn't really matter. It's a marvellous piece of escapism, rather like reading a Disney film. It's got all your classic fairytale elements, and its written in a wonderfully easy to read style. This book, probably more than any other he has written, proves what a born storyteller King is, because the entire driving force behind the book is the fact that it is unashamedly a STORY, and nothing less. The narrator, whose occasionally steps in, is a wonderfull omniscient presence, and its almost certainly like King is actually sitting right there with you, telling you this story to you, of a chilly night by the fire. Not too challenging, but a fast pageturner, i would reccomend this to all readers who love the escapism of a wonderful story. You certainly don't have to be a King fan to love this book.

Summary: Not Horror
Review: This book was a great book because of it's simplicity. I have read this book twice and enjoyed it both times. Not his best work but a great story by a great author. His Dark Tower series are my personal favorite. But this book is worth the read and the time.

Summary: It's not about dragons
Review: There was a dragon in the plot but it had a minor part in it. It was more about political intrigue, involving regicide, 2 royal heirs and the throne. It was a story about human inadequacies and failings. It was a story about raising to greatness and fear of not raising to the occasion. This book is not the typical SK book. It is easy to read and the simple prose conveyed the essence of the story. Certainly not to be compared with grandness of The Stand. In the end I couldn't decide if it was a fairytale for adults or was it an adult tale for children.

Summary: Interesting enough
Review: I adore all of Stephen King's books. He has a way of transporting you to completely different worlds with an ease that is unique only to him. But I was slightly disappointed with this book in that, while the plot and details itself were great, it was a little underwhelming. I always finish his books with mixed emotions: ecstatic about yet another great story and sad that it's over. This one left me with an empty feeling...like getting turned on and then being left hanging. I'm sure you know what I mean. But it was entertaining. Everyone has their own opinion though.

Summary: nice fairy tale, probably not worth 380 pages
Review: This was my first Stephen King book, picked it up at random for a flight. It turned out to be a 'nice' and witty fairy tale about a king being murdered, an evil magician, a brave prince locked up in a tower (no princess though) and a typical happy ending. A Good read for the flight or for younger readers, I would have been more content with something like 'The Shining'.

(Best Books for Senior High Readers) After old King Roland mysteriously dies by poison, his eldest son, Peter, is imprisoned for the crime. Thomas, the younger son, assumes the throne, with the evil magician, Flagg, as his advisor. Recommended.
