Storm of the Century (Screenplay)

Summary: Top of the line - Stephen!
Review: I had seen this advertised as a mini-series coming for TV and wanted to read the screen play first, but couldn't find it until Sunday. The day the 1st part of the mini-series was starting. I bought the screen play at 11:30 AM and it was so good that I had read the entire book before the TV show started! I also thought it may be hard to read, because of the format, but it wasn't, it was another great one from Stephen. (A big, BIG, step up from the awfully drug out "Bag of Bones".) Glad to have the old Stephen back.

Summary: Oh, boy...He goofed
Review: Let me start out by saying that I have every book ever written by Stephen King... I love the guy! His work is consistently tense, and scary! Except for this one. I don't know what happened, but Stevie goofed. This story disgusted me. The reason is say this is because he let the bad guy win! This would not be a problem, except for the reason the bad guy won. Those of you who have seen it know what I mean. I can think of a hundred more evil, and more likely ways to end this tale. This is not the best way this story could have ended. However, I DO have to give him snaps for thinking up a terrifying story basis... He has NEVER failed at that. Over all... I'd like to say that this in not a film or movie that I would ever want to experience again. I feel aweful for saying so, but it's the truth.

Summary: I'm sure it was great reading but...,
Review: To be honest, I only read about 10 pages of the book. I think I have every book Stephen King has ever written (yes, I save them and re-read them) and have enjoyed reading every single one of them. When I realized this was a screenplay, for whatever reason, I just couldn't get into it. Loved the mini-series! The reviews of the book were impressive - Think I had better go back and read it. If I didn't read it, why did I give it five stars? Explanation in sentence #2...,

Summary: Bravo! Stephen King does it again.
Review: I was afraid the book would be diffucult to read because of its format, but I discovered it was very enjoyable to read. I couldn't hardly bear to put the book down and the only thing I regreat is that I didnt read the book before I saw the mini-series, but I thought they were both top notch. I understand he is considering writing another one for ABC and I hope he does.

Summary: Another great work by the master of horror
Review: The only reason I would not give this book 5 stars is the reason that someone else had brought up. Why didn't Linoge just go in and take the kid away instead of putting the townsfolk through all of that misery. This brings me to a couple of conclusions. One, a recurring theme in King's work of testing your faith against an evil most horrid. We have seen this theme in 'The Stand', 'Salem's Lot', and 'The Shining'. Which brings me to the other conclusion in that the ending (which most people hated), the people of that town got what they deserved. In taking the easier of the two roads out they lose the child. Where, if they had stood up to Linoge and put all of their faith together, things might have turned out different. I commend Mr. King on presenting a trying and extremely tough decision for people to ponder. What would you do in their place????

Summary: Couldn't , wouldn't put it down
Review: Really enjoyed this diversion from his usual, and reading the story in screenplay text was not at all difficult, the way he plays the characters and effects, but I do have one question,,What is Croaton? Is it a place or anagram or ???

Summary: King does it again!
Review: Seldom do I pick up a Stephen King book without having to put life on hold while I fall into it. It was a great book to start at the beginning of what was being call 'Noreaster 99'. Read it, it won't dissappoint.

Summary: it was the best he has ever written i loved it
Review: steven king has done a TERRIFIC job of the movie and the book,but the end was predictable which kid he picked and i think that they should have told him NO but overall that was the BEST he has ever made it was just and on the edge thriller now only if he would come out with the screenplay of ROSE MATTER i would love to see that happen honestly steven king keep up the good work we all love you:)

Summary: Stephen King does it again.
Review: Stephen King once again proves to be a master of horror and suspense. He has a unique way of being able to get under your skin and to be able to hit you where you live. It makes all of his works very real and very scary. I read the book (screenplay) and loved it. Then I watched the movie on ABC and taped it. I cannot wait for his next project.
