Summary: Best of Steven King
Review: Dreamcatcher was another one of the great works of the lengendary horror story writer Steven King. In this book we are introduced to many interesting characters named Pete, Douglas a.k.a "Duddits", Beaver, and Jonesy. Who have been best friends since childhood. These characters also share a special telepathic ability that enables them all to see into the future.
The story begins when two friends decide to take a weekend vacation in the alaksan wilderness and stay in a large wooden cabin. Little did they know this wooden vastness is a quarantined spot for a mysterious disease that has taken a large toll on the population of humans and animals alike. Little do they know, that this disease is caused by mimicking aliens that attempt to take over/destroy earth.
The main character Pete, changes to Duddits(a mentally challenged adult) by the end of the story. Another character is a head strong military Colonel Abraham Curtis that believes anyone and everyone that shows the slightest symtoms of anyone in a 15 mile radius of the quarantined area deserved to be killed and not even considered for treatment for medical professionals. Also, these unfortunate people could make contact with family members even by phone conservations. Instead they were trapped like pigs waiting to be slaughtered.
I would say the theme of the book is to...'keep your friends but your enemies closer'. I would reccommend this book to be read by mature audiences.(12+)And also for people who love exciting,horror novels.

Summary: He's Back
Review: I am a BIG SK fan, I've been reading his books since high-school and I have really praised him when they were great (The Stand, IT) and I've really panned him when they were downright dumb and ununderstandable ( The Tommyknockers). Lately I have had my doubts about my good friend but this book does bring him back to the King of old, and that makes me very happy. The characters are great, the story is fun and exciting and as always with SK the monsters are of the alien AND human kind. I didn't give it 5 stars basically because I know he has done better than this, but this is a good start to going back to vintage King.

Summary: great idea..horrible story
Review: I really like Mr. King. I have read nearly all his books, and devoured them all. But for some reason, this story just doesn't get off the ground. It has a great story idea, but no real direction and no real plot. I found myself dragging myself through the pages in hopes that it would get better. I have to say that I was extremely dissappointed in the story. Sorry horror fans, but this was a flop

Summary: VeGarz
Review: Stephen King does it again! Dreamcatcher is now a best selling book and major motion picture. When four lifelong friends leave for their annual hunting trip, they expect the regular weekend at their cabin. But disaster strikes when a lost man shows up asking for help. Not long after, they are caught in the "Dreamcatcher" with old secrets coming back. Then one question remains... will the special retarded boy from their past be able to save the world?
Unlike most other alien science fictions, this novel pictures what could actually happen if this were to actually happen. Take the government for examples, in most science fictions they are acting for the best of the people, which we all know isn't always true; this novel describes how corrupt the government can be and what it may cost the world. Moreover, the aliens in this novel weren't the common green, little dudes with ray guns, they were nothing more than an infection lead by grey beings who could dispose of their body once in order to enter the mind of another being; thus it gives the possibility that perhaps if there is life outside Earth, it doesn't have to be smart, just conquerors who instead of being smart themselves use the weaker species to do all the dirty work. It shows that the smartest way isn't always a full on attack but an unnoticed plague. So if aliens ever do invade us, you can put your money that it'll something similar to what the King writes.
Stephen King has definitely reached the goal for the book; he has succeeded in penetrating the deepest weaknesses and fears of the reader. The books elements greatly aided in accomplishing the purpose; suspense, fright, and death all ended up with the same result, which was the goal of the King. Thus, it made this a great midnight reader for those who enjoy a good spook.
However I must point out the differences between the movie and the book. Hands down, the book is much better; the movie is a simply not descriptive enough. If you dare see the movie and not read the book you will be missing out on more than half of the unseen truth. Unlike the movie, the novel has insights the inner struggles of the mind hostage Jonesy, which is the most frightening struggle in the plot. Moreover the book ties all loose ends, answering all questions you may have by the time you reach the end. In the words of Henry, "We Are a Species Living in the Dream Catcher"

Summary: DreamCatcher
Review: Stephen King is a great author. I felt like he should had written a better book. I watch his movies and stuff, but I can't read any books if his. This book started out with four close friends going back in their past to survive. I got confuse after that whole part. I wouldn't have read this book until someone special picked it out for the whole class.That's my personal reaction after I read it.

Summary: Dreamcatcher
Review: The story of four men on a traditional hunting trip, deep in the woods of main, when it takes a horrifying turn. Little do the four men know this could be the last time they would all be together and just how strong their relationship between each other and their life long friend Duddits actually is.
