Desperation

Summary: Not the best.....
Review: Desperation does not seem to be the best book i've read.But as a thriller it satisfied me.According to other evil&monster related books of Mr. King this is not a very good one.Especially that language of the dead was really bad.(TAK,ah wan etc.)I could't believe my eyes when I first saw this strange language.I was expecting something better.Never mind I like Mr. King's books and i'll keep reading them...

Summary: Where to Begin...
Review: I Loved this book. I dont know why anyone would hate this book. This was one of those books that I could not put down when I got started. From Suspense to sheer terror, from Love to Pain to Healing, the book was a roller coaster ride. And being a christian I loved the way he incorporated into the mix, King is Good!(God IS Love!) I was almost sorry to have finished the book, The characters were wonderful. YOU MUST READ THIS BOOK! TAK!

Summary: Vivid imagery but annoyingly political
Review: King is the master of imagery. No matter how bizzare the setting, the monster, the dream, he manages to make the reader see, hear, and smell his surroundings. I enjoyed the story, particularly in comparing it with its companion THE REGULATORS. However, before the end comes, Stephen King twists this novel into a kind of weird political, anti-mining, wrath-of-God, destroying-Mother-Earth, left-wing, environmentalist tripe. If this kind of blatant political stridency annoys you, don't read this book. If you're calloused to this popular trend in modern art culture, though, you may enjoy the vivid imagery.

Summary: King's lost it, go read Brian Scott Smith's When Shadows Fal
Review: King really needs to give it up. Lame o' lame. Better off passing the mantle of horror to someone like Brian Scott Smith. His When Shadows Fall blows away any horror King's done since The Shining.

Summary: anyone who doesnt love this has something wrong with them
Review: i cant believe that anyone would read this and say that they hated it. I actually got in trouble for reading it in class, because i was always reading it when i was supposed to be working. I am in 7th grade and this is by far better than any book (other than kings other works) that i have ever read. I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN. And this is probably the only book that a priest would read (think about it god and all)

Summary: Mediocre King
Review: This book started off very promising. I really loved the idea of a small group of people being chased through a ghost town by a psychotic police officer with a hint of a bit more than madness behind his eyes. Suddenly, it degenerated into a bizarre monster story as King tried to turn it into another story of ultimate good vs. ultimate evil. I think King just doesn't know when to stop, especially now that he's written so many better novels. Perhaps he just feels he has to top himself with every book. Here's a tip: less is sometimes more.

Summary: Welcome back to the Maccabe SK!
Review: I have been an avid fan since 5th grade! I have been waiting for SK's books to pick me up and really scare me again! I haven't been scared this bad since I read IT or The Shining! I really loved the gruesome details that this book goes into. If you're really looking for a page turner, and something to keep you up all night, then you MUST read this book!

Summary: You'd have to be desperate to read this one!
Review: This is the only book that I have ever actually read one third of the way through and threw in the garbage. I couldn't even conceive having it around much less read another page. Stephen, the old ways were the better ways.
