The Dark Half

Summary: A THRILLER WITH A STRANGE TWIST!
Review: The book is a thriller with lots of gore. When Thaddeus Beumont was young, he had a "tumor" removed from his brain. He lived his life as an author under the pseudonym George Stark. George Stark's books were best sellers until Thad decided to reveal who he was and begin to write under his real name. In People magazine, he made a public "death" of Stark. After the article was printed, people with any affiliation with Thad, were brutally murdered. Thad believes the man is Stark. But George Stark was never a real person- or was he?

Summary: Graphic and very gross murders not for the fainthearted
Review: Ok i love King and most of his novels. But never has he gotten so possesed in his overgrowing pass ion for gore. The murders are to geraphic, and the ending is just to wierd. But if you like real disguisting violent books than this one is for you.(it almost made me puke in one part)

Summary: The Best Book if Stephen King
Review: Classics! I have read many books written by Stephen King.THE DARK HALF is the best.

Rating:
Summary: An entertaining read, but certainly not one of King's best.
Review: The first book that I ever read by Stephen King was "Desperation", and from then on I couldn't stop reading his very entertaining novels. When I started reading "The Dark Half" I didn't have very high expectations, but I knew the 'master of horror' wouldn't let me down. He didn't, yet I have to admit it wasn't one of his better books. There were so many times the novel just seemed to drag on and bore me. The murders were very graphic, though, and the conclusion was well worth the strenuous wait.

Summary: It's the best thing I've ever read!
Review: I love it! You have to read it to know how good it is, beleive me. Thad is a bit predictable, but that's no handicap. George Stark is so realistic that I wrote my own little sequal to it,("Pen Name: The Dark Half 2", A.K.A: "Triplets")If you want something that's hard to put down,(even after you finish it)you got it here.

Summary: An editor, an editor, my kingdom for an editor!!!
Review: A note to Mr. King: Just because a story idea can be written as a novel doesn't mean that it should be. This book has no business being a novel. There simply isn't enough material here for much more than a really good novella. Don't get me wrong. I have read and enjoyed many of King's works. But far too many of them, beginning with this one, are little more than inflated short stories. King is best writing good, short, nasty stories of people doing terrible things to each other, like The Shining, Pet Sematary, Christine, Carrie, Delores Claiborne, etc. His big novels (like Salem's Lot, IT, and the ridiculously overpraised The Stand) soon become predictable, and downright boring. The Dark Half has one or two cool moments, but it is the last King novel I will read, at least until he learns (or remembers) that there is more to writing than filling up paper.

Summary: Addictive reading!
Review: Who else but Stephen King could conjure up such delight! This is definately one of his best. Such imagination for those not so squeemish! Highly recommended!!!

Rating:
Summary: It came as no surprise that this was as good as the last!
Review: The twists in this novel were unbelievable. It captured my interest almost instantly with its suspenseful plot and how it related to the authors own life. It had a final surprise scene with no definite end that made me want to inquire more. I would definitely recommend this book for any of Kings loyal fans out there, who enjoy his work as much as me.
