Rating: Summary: It was "iffy." Review: This book, this Stephen King book, has some text in an order which was easily digested by me, and, presumably, most of the populi. Everything about the story was quite clear. Very clear. I was sickened. It displayed no new ideas about storytelling or writing. It displayed no new ideas at all. Perhaps this is an idication that Stephen King is simply out to claim as many book TITLES as he can, so he can win some contest I haven't heard of. Or, perhaps he likes watching workmen file into his living room with tubs of money and pizza and those superfluous "delivery video rental" movies. Do those delivery people just stand there whilst you watch the movie, or do they go back to the rental place to wait?? And, what if you want to pause the tape just as Uma Thurman is taking her top off and gawk at it for a half-hour...do they charge you for more movie-watching time? Anyway, this book occupies a vacuum. Don't read it.
Rating: Summary: King does it again.....a real page-turner from the start! Review: I've just recently got hooked on King's books, and I thought Rose Madder was terrific. If you check out other reader reviews, it seems that the guys weren't too keen on it, but the gals were....a gender thing, maybe? In fact if you didn't know the author, I would have guessed a female wrote it
Rating: Summary: Nananananana... Review: This is the novel that made me stop reading Stephen King. It starts off with a poor woman having a miscarriage, a gift from a sparatic beating of her husband. I was holding my lunch at page three. Page three!
This is clearly a stereotipical Stephen King book. It has powers, schitsophrenia, monsters, oh, and Stephen King wouldn't DARE leave out those sex parts. You see, this is the kind of book that drives you so crazy that you don't even care how it ends. Speaking of an ending, can you say "It"?
Please, save your money and do something better with your time, like watching "The Best of Lucy".
Rating: Summary: It's ... great Review: Gentle horror. I liked it. No blood... too much
Rating: Summary: The Creation Of Norman Daniels Review: Stephen King alarms his readers by forcing them to continue reading at every moment and upcoming chapter. Rose Madder depicts a horrific story of a woman who cannot continue life with her savage, psychotic husband. As horrific as Annie Wilkes, Norman Daniels will become your worst nightmare. If you're lucky, you won't fall asleep..
Rating: Summary: This book is unreadable!!!!!!!!!!! Review: I can't believe I forced myself to finish this garbage. All of the characters are either hackneyed or predictable or stale! The dialogue is awful "and that's a fact, Jack!" Who talks like this. I didn't care about anyone, and King should have cut the Bull. King has fallen far from such tasty stories as "The Shining", "The Dead Zone", and my personal favorite "The Long Walk". Instead of writing thrilling material, King has turned into a hack! (Which is all most of his baddies seem to do!)
Rating: Summary: One of King's best Review: I didn't want to stop reading. The book was exciting chapter to chapter!
The most realistic story until the ending. Which was the only disappointment. I like believable science fiction. Some of King's stuff is just too far out
Rating: Summary: My favorite book! Review: OK..If you haven't read this book, you'd better soon. It is the best book I have ever read....I've read it 3 times! I'm 12 years old and I LOVED the plot. Norman Daniels and Rosie McClendon are the perfect characters. I actually rate this book a 20 out of 10! I love Stephen King's work. Words cannot describe how much this book rules
Rating: Summary: Excellant Review: I'm reading it at the moment and I just can't put it down very, very good book!
