Summary: So...Mr. King, did you have a point?
Review: Hmm, a man drifts into a village during a terrible storm, causes untold deaths, bizarre happenings..and he seems to be a man of untold power and evil because he gets people to kill themselves, and he tells the truth of what people have been hiding. The only real problem is: who the heck is this guy? What was disappointing on the screen is even more disappointing in book format (though we are spared the terrible, false New England accents in the book.) The killer or whatever he is is never really explained who or what he is (King had better have a sequel planned)and therefore, the thrust of the story is completely lost. I feel this story hurtles toward a climax that never comes, and is a generally unsatisfying tale about the usual story of a town that seems to operate on a shared brain. This is one of King's lesser efforts... I don't think I have ever been as dissatisfied by a story and ending as this. I can deal with a hanging ending, but not by the complete lack of detail that makes Andre Linoge the most dull and uninteresting villain King ever created. (Though, I give credit to King for finally solving the mystery of the lost colony) To misquote King, Linoge is a Bag of Bones, without the bones. Don't bother with this unless you're a huge fan of screenplays. Plus, the editors did not even think to add a list in the beginning of the main players of the tale, and that completely detracts from ones comprehension of the tale. Forget this one exists, despite the throwaway reference in the script to Dolores Claiborne.

Summary: G-REAT!
Review: Scary! Great! I couldn't be happeir with it! Even my boyfriend enjoyed it, and he hardly reads... It was neat to see it play by play. I love Stephen King and I hope that he will keep giving us things to read and reasons to sleep with the lights on.

Rating:
Summary: Very compelling and exciting.
Review: I believe this is one of the best books ever written plus if you get bored you could just watch the movie.

Summary: GOOD STORY, BAD FORMAT
Review: The story itself is pretty good, but the screen-play format is very off-putting - it interrupts the flow. The reader is jerked continually back to the mechanics of reading instead of losing themselves in the story.

Summary: Utterly Captivating and Terrifying Masterpiece
Review: King's New Story of a Small Town gone awry is brilliant and "spooky". King just may be the greatest American writer of the later half of the 20th century. Storm of the Century helps prove my idea. It is masterfully well written to keep you thinking about it long after it's over. I recommend buying both the screenplay and the Movie cassestes.

Summary: 13 year old girl from NJ
Review: This book was extremely good.Having watched the end of the movie first I could really visualize what was happening and it was intense cliffhangers the whole way through.To me it was the greatest book I have ever read and after reading it 2 times since I borrowed it from the library I want to read it again and anticipate doing just that!-

Summary: This book is awful
Review: I'll have to agree with all of the other people who were disappointed with this book. I could not even get past the first chapter. If you are in the mood to read a novel, do not bother getting this book. I wish I had read all the reviews before I bought it. I may try to watch the movie though.
