Rating: Summary: Not King at his best Review: This book just seemed to drag on and on.
King has so many great books, this is just not one of them.
None of the characters were very beliveable, like in some of his stories (The Stand, It, etc.)
Rating: Summary: Just try another books... Review: This is not the best of King's work, and I think he is not accustomed with "science fiction horror" style like this. Just save your money and buy another books (if you insist to own Stephen King's work, try THE STAND)
Rating: Summary: #1 Review: The Tommyknockers is the best book that I've read by Stephen King. It had just the right amount of everything. It felt like I was watching a movie, instead of actually reading because everything is very well described
Rating: Summary: King could do MUCH better. Review: Style: A
Form: A
Character Development: A
Content: D-
Storyline: D-
King leads this story along in an almost frantic pattern. Moving about in a very strange drug induced way. The characters are real enough, but he seems to lose reader with way too many unnecessary pulls. It seems to lose the appeal of a true King book. Next time, maybe..
Rating: Summary: Horror sci-fi from the Master of the Macabre Review: Unusual combination of science fiction and horror from Stephen King. Though not in the techno-sophistication genre of Clarke, the imagination is still as fascinating. Add to this painstaking characterization and wry humour, you have Tommyknockers. Needs lot of stomach, though
Rating: Summary: #1 Review: This is the best book I EVER read
Rating: Summary: Probably one of the best terror stories that I've read. Review: Stephen King is not only a good storyteller. He's an artist. Only an artist could create so many fascinating characters and then kill each one of them viciously. The Tommyknockers is an enthralling, exciting, original book. Before knowing King I used to be fond of happyends. Not anymore
Rating: Summary: It takes a long time to get into it, but it is worth it. Review: It may take forever to get into the book, but then, it's
747 pages long. I recommend this book to anyone who likes
King. And I say-BE PATIENT-it is very exciting.
Rating: Summary: Umm, Good 'cept little too much adult content! Review: Very gruesome and inspiring plot er something but totally too much sexual content which I assume all his books have!
Yuck!
Rating: Summary: A Fun Read From An Entertaining Writer! Review: Who hasn't heard of Stephen King? Not many people right? But what do people think when you say his name? "Oh, he's just too scary for me!" An unfortunate misconception that keeps many hardcore book readers away from King's writings. So here is a story that isn't too scary that might interest people into checking out his work. It's a little sci-fi, a little horror, a little mystery all wrapped up in one big package! Stephen King is more of a writer of the sinister, the possibility of treachery and maddness in each of us. A true sense of horror, of that slight jolt of electricity that for a second makes you just want to drop the book, really wasn't present here. But there sure were some cool ideas! The way people pay for new found abilities with the blood of the not-so innocent was a somewhat humorous twist in this book (all though I did start to feel kinda weird at some of the stuff I found myself laughing at). That is one of Stephen King's greatest achievements in his writing, his ability to take something that in any real circumstance would be deemed a great and terrible misfortune and make his audience laugh (maybe more appropriate to say snicker, somewhat devilishly)at these unexpected turn of events! For the most part Mr. King doesn't fail to entertain his massively loyal audience, and The Tommyknockers is no exception. If you haven't read it yet and you are not particularly a Stephen King fan go check it out at your library, it can't hurt. If you do call yourself a Stephen King fan and you haven't read this book yet, well shame on you!
