The Tommyknockers

Rating:
Summary: Good for true King fans, but...
Review: The Tommyknockers was a pretty good book. I think, though, that this would be a bad book for someone reading King for the first time. It wasn't scary, but was more creepy. In fact, I consider it to be more of a sci-fi novel than a horror story. If you want a scary King read, choose something more like The Shining.

Summary: This was a great story, but a bit slow.
Review: I thoght that story was truly captivating. The problem is the same with all King novels. Too little story for the amout of pages. An intresting sidenote. I get nose bleeds from reading this book. After reading this book twice in high school with the same effect. I decided to read it again, sure that I would not have the same result. Lo and behold, at the end of Book Two, they began againlike clockwork. Five nose bleeds in two days. Odd!

Summary: Get to the point
Review: Tommyknockers was a long book. I enjoy King's short story collections, (Different Seasons", Four Past Midnight, The Bachman Books) and his earlier novels but Tommyknockers just took too long to get to the point. I read Bag of Bones recently and I feel the same way about it... "I read the entire book for this?"

Summary: if you love to read you'll love this book
Review: this book was long yet very interesting and very well written. But if you don't like to read 750 page books i don't recomend this one. only for the people who love to read will this be a joy.

Summary: More on "They"
Review: Great Book, but gets a bit slow in the middle, as some of Kings books do when he gets into too much character development. The ending was a bit, how do I say it?, uneventful!!! unfinished!!! anticlamatic!!!. I guess they all aply. I prefer The Stand, or the Green Mile. Of course my favorites are the Dark Tower series. Overall, a very good King book.

Summary: Absolutely a bone-chiller!
Review: This is the first King book I've read, but I can't wait to read another! And I'm only on page 407! I can't put it down, and it's due back at the library tomorrow! Have to check it out again!

Summary: Vintage King, extremely well written!!
Review: My first and favourite King book, leaving me addicted and thirsty for more. An incredible plot and ingenious original concept. Although slightly slow to start off with, after 50 pages it sets alight. A climax so chilling you have to put it down and scream before you can continue. A MUST READ! I recommend this book to anyone in need of a scare that will leave you mentally unstable.

Summary: He could've done better
Review: Normally I'm a King fan, but this book is pretty bad..

Rating:
Summary: It colud be written much better
Review: This book is Ok. However, it is silly to consider it as a creepy horror novell. This book is a composition of Dostoevskiy's ability to keep story events developing pretty slow, whlie filling the pages with a tremendous amount of text, and a few drops of 2nd freshness horror. I have read the whole book although sometimes it got really boring.

Summary: Brilliant Concept - Mediocre Execution
Review: Stephen King is a true genius. The idea of a space ship that automatically creates its own energy source (and crew) is a brilliantly original SF concept. King has also written a few other good SF stories (like "The Jaunt" in the "Skeleton Crew" anthology). Unfortunately this story does drag on much longer than necessary. Not his best work, but even King's mediocre stuff out does the best of the competition.
