Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is the best book and movie i have ever seen.
Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK. Its really scary, but cool. the movie is even better!!! i love it so much!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: WATCH OUT!
Review: THIS IS NOT A BOOK! This is a screenplay for the movie, nothing more. Therefore, if you are looking for a book get something else, or else you are being ripped off(which just happened to me). If King wants to sell a book, make it a book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Final Choice
Review: Ok. I harass you, I catch you, I manipulate you, I horrify you, I torture you and finally, I let you without exit, then I say to you:

"If you give me what I want, I'll leave"

what are you gonna do? in which way you are going to act? will you going to save yourself or will you act like a part of a group, a community, and sacrificate yourself? Maybe both, maybe none...

"Storm Of The Century" is a great point of view about the nature of the human being.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Half read it but...
Review: I'm reading it right now and I find it an enthralling story, yes, Linoge is a creepy character and it just keeps you wondering. However I have one complain that infuriates me?. Why should Mike Anderson, being a talented man as he is, marry a woman so plainly stupid like Molly?. This character definetly repulses me from continue my reading. The overall is Ok, it's fast paced and creepy but this character IMHO damages the story. I only hope she dies before the end of the book.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "I'm a little teapot, short and stout...."
Review: Storm of the Century was a great screenplay! The town of Little Tall Island has everything, neighbors that care for each other. Parents that dwell on their children and Linoge, a man who wants to test how much these children are cared for...

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Not Great
Review: I like most all Stephen King works, but The Storm of the Century lacked the classic King suspense and horror of all his other books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: No escape possible from the dark side of man
Review: This story is a development rarely reached of the Dark Man Legend. Here he is arriving on an island in the heart of a phenomenal storm, and he starts killing and blackmailing everyone into selecting a male child that he will take away as his apprentice and successor. And he succeeds and goes away with the child of his choice, because the stones, white and black were rigged of course. The book reveals, not the horrible nature of this new embodiment of Randall Flagg, but the unfathomable dark nature of humanity. When the dead line comes and the choice narrows to surviving or dying, man is ready to choose any solution that will enable him to survive, I mean any individual will choose any solution that will save him or her, even if it is selling his/her own mother to the devil. And King pushes a little further by showing how such a choice leads the human group that has accepted it into total, irreversible and absolute decay. That is what humanity is. The question that emerges but has never been asked and will probably never be asked is: how could that dark side not triumph, be it in Kosovo, be it in Chechenya, be it in Indonesia or East-Timor, etc? I am afraid there is no how, no way out of this dark fate. At least in King's vision. There is no answer to the question that will not be asked. Dr Jacques COULARDEAU, Paris Universities IX and II

Summary: What a book!
Review: I saw the movie on television and I thought it was spectacular! We taped the movie off the tv so I could watch it again. I had to get the book! I liked how the book and the movie relate. I couldn't put the book down! It never slowed down and there was always some action in it. I could read the book again!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What an amazing storm!
Review: The Storm of the Century is an excinting book from the Master of Horror, the story involve the reader on the 3 parts of the book. It is amazing the character of Andre Linoge and what can he don with those misterious and dark powers. I like a lot the book, maybe the end wasn't what I expect but I recommend this book because Il is logic the reaction of the people of an island it this story really happen some day, I can't wait to buy the video. The storm of the century is coming to Little Tall Island, but that is not the only thing that is coming, there is a man that want something from the people of Little Tall Island.
