Storm of the Century (Screenplay)

Rating:
Summary: He's STILL "King"
Review: King says this "book" needed to be written as a screen play and he's correct. PAY ATTENTION -- It's in screenplay format, but a wonderful read. Worth every cent!

Summary: Stephen King does it again! The man is amazing!
Review: "Storm Of The Century" is worthy of joining the King universe. Not used to reading screenplays, I did find the format a bit distracting at times. But the story is quite well done and makes one eager to watch the mini-series. If the film makers can get the characters and special effects down as well as the author intended, we have us a winner! I may die broke, but I am proud to have read, and to say I own, all of this fantastic author's books, etc.

Summary: Breathtaking!
Review: After reading Bag of Bones, I didn't think I would find another work by King for a long time that would grasp the powerful, page turning style of that novel. I am very much appreciative of "Storm...", and I have faith that King still has his stuff after over twenty years, and will continue to produce fine stories for years more to come.

Summary: Don't Damn the Author
Review: After reading the reviews of "Storm of the Century", I have just a few comments to make. First, for those that praised the book, thank you; I agree one hundred percent. For those who gave negative reviews based on the formatting of the text, remember this: everything comes in different packages. If the world consisted of constants, without deviating from the norm, wouldn't it be a really boring place to live. Accept the change, for this particular novel, or next time read the small print (perhaps you would have seen the disclaimer about the manuscript style format). Don't judge the book by the way the material was delivered but by the content within the delivery. My recommendation to you, negative reviewers, is to put the book down and watch the mini-series. Perhaps reading the manuscript style format is too taxing on your narrow minds.

Summary: Desturbing and Unforgetable
Review: I bought this book not knowing it was in screenplay format,and let me say it doesn't change King's masterpiece a bit.I found it absorbing and couldn't put it down.The ending however was so haunting I myself will never forget it.Perhaps predictable,but only because you don't want it to end that way.Very disturbing,but rings true.Excellent.

Summary: NEVER COUNT THOSE CHICKENS...THIS ONE'S A WINNER!
Review: As intrigueing as anything I've ever read by King, riddled with his old style and wit. Something tells me there's a lot of wind left in those old sails, and thank God for it. The screenplay format made it even more interesting--especially when originally the book was listed as a media tie-in by the publisher, and we all know what THOSE turn out to be like.

Rating:
Summary: I liked the book-especially the ending!!
Review: I really enjoyed the book. I've read all of King's books and really thought this style was refreshing. It read real fast, just like most of the novels and I found the ending to be VERY enjoyable. The descriptions were so graphic, I could visualize the miniseries happening before my eyes. The ending had an "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" type of ending, but I was not disappointed. Keep up the great work!!

Rating:
Summary: King in his true form.
Review: King has really turned out a great one this time. I bought it two days ago and have already finished. Storm of the Century is King in his true horrifying form. A must read!

Rating:
Summary: excellent, couldn't put it down
Review: I thought this was one of Stephen King's best. I was glad to see him come out with a book in the format of a screenplay, and I can't wait for the miniseries. I would recommend this to anyone who likes horror.

Summary: King is finally back to the good stuff!
Review: Screenplay or not, I am glad to see Stephen King back to writing horror at his best. Being a true fan (would read his grocery list), there are still a few books I can say I didn't care for. The screenplay format is of no concern, this is a true King story! Job well done!
