Summary: The Backwater
Review: Once again Mr. King has seemed to brave new ground in the Dream Catcher. Unlike his previous works that seemed to come out of one place, Dream Catcher seems to be several short story's, novel upstarts, and in general, a woven together tale. At least that's impression I got. Also, I got the feeling that he might have return to work to soon after his accident, because the tragedy seemed to color the work in some places.Dream Catcher is not a bad book, it's worth a read, but I don't think it's a great book, like The Stand, The black Tower series or Desperation and the alike. What it also is not like is Gerald's Game or Insomnia, two of which I wish he had never written. That's a Backwater man's opinion anyway, in the backwater, and you know how we can be.

Summary: Not his best effort!
Review: I much anticipated this book but am disappointed. I hope that Stephen King hasn't lost his touch! I am a fan of his work and must say that "Dreamcatcher" is my least favorite. The story line had potential but it felt rushed and didn't concentrate on the entertaining aspect of this work. I found myself rushing through this book to go onto the next.

Summary: Dreamcatcher: Old School Horror or New School Suspense?
Review: This review I am writing because I liked the book and well it was very suspensefull. In Dreamcatcher the reader encounters many conflicts along the way. One of my favorite conflicts is the Man vs. Time conflict. The man vs. Time conflict exists everywhere in this novel especially at the end where Jonsey has to beat Mr. Gray or else the dog would have been able to fit into the pipe. Now what would have happened if Jonsey had not got the best of Mr.Gray in the End that is suspense my friends not Horor or Mystery or Romance (Thank God for if it was I would never be able to raed again). If you have rated this book a 5 star book and would like to read other suspense/sci-fi novels by Stephen King try Tommyknockers, The Dark Half, and Bag of Bones all by Stephen King.

Summary: Bound to be Some Boobs
Review: DREAMCATCHER isn't a Saturday matinee. It doesn't grab you by the throat from page one and throttle you into meek submission, pushing your Instant Gratification buttons and propelling you to the end without permitting you time to grab a sandwich or attend to matters of personal hygiene. It isn't a comic book. It isn't a sitcom. Expect to invest some time into this bad boy, because like most of his best work, it's oh-so-meaty. Lord help us, we might even have to (gasp!) think a little. The book starts gently, so for those looking for an immediate splash of gore, don't let yourselves be disappointed. When it comes, the horror (and it does come, rest assured) is as visceral and wet and as personal as anything we've seen from him in the last ten years. The King sense of isolation (alienation?) is alive and well here, and there's plenty to go around. I'm not going to outline the plot; that's already been done ad nauseum by previous reviewers, but I will note that the book contains two of the most unsettling scenes he's ever published (God only knows what he's got in his desk drawers, so "published" seems a better fit than "written"), and he doesn't shed a single drop of blood in either one. I haven't liked everything he's done, but DREAMCATCHER soars. Sometimes, just sometimes, you'll discover a writer or a painter or a muscian working in your lifetime who transcends the monotony of his contemporaries and produces art of such mastery that he or she defines what it means to be human. Bach did this. Beethoven. Picasso. Michaelangelo. Dickens. Einstein. And in a hundred years, when nearly everyone who lives today is worm food or dust in a jar, people will realize that hey, yeah, Stephen King did it too. Do yourself a favor and pick up a few of his books, including DREAMCATCHER. With 2-day delivery available, you won't even have to wait a hundred years to enjoy them.

Summary: Dream Catcher: More Than A Novel
Review: Stephen King's new novel is amazing. if you haven't read it, you should. This novel is going back almost to the way that his older novels were written. This novel is less of an emotion games novel as his other recent novels have been (although they were good, this true horror format is better). This novel has places where you will be frightened out of your mind, and parts where you will not be able to control your laughter, even some of the both occur at once. I guarrentee any true Stephen King fan will enjoy this novel.

Summary: A Fall From Grace
Review: Don't know WHAT the Amazon.com reviewer read but this is a book to lament, not for fans to rejoice over! King (as we all know) is a fantastic writer but somehow when he tries to delve into science fiction/invaders from outer space he simply falls flat on his face. Tommyknockers was my least favorite novel of his - but now this one is a tight contentder for that designation. The first half of the book just drug on terribly between jumping between characters and flashbacks -- I really kept losing interest and having to walk away and at times forcing myself to go back to it hoping it would pick up. From reading all the advance reviews I think everyone knows about the "implants" but it takes almost 300 pages before the aliens even make their first appearance! For me, the second half involivng the military pursuit of the alien inhabited character was the best part. That was when some of the old King suspense shone through (although you never had ANY doubt about what the end result was going to be -- unfortunately predictable in that area) Finally, don't pick up this book, as others seem to have, thinking it is some sort of sequel to "IT" or even the clown. Except for a VERY fleeting reference to child disapparences in Derry during one of the flashbacks you won't find any more talk of that story. Final thought....PLEASE don't let there be a sequel to THIS book as was alluded to in the end of the story. If so, it would be the very first King book that I would decide not to spend money on.

Summary: The King still has zing
Review: There was a lot of talk after King's much publicized accident, that he wouldn't write again - that he was suffering from writer's block. While I reserve 5 stars for THE STAND and THE EYES OF THE DRAGON, this book comes pretty close. The author's genius still lies in his ability to bring characters to life within just a few sentences, making even the most minor of characters someone interesting.

Summary: Another great King novel
Review: This novel follows in the footsteps of other King greats like my personal favorite "The Stand" as well as "IT" and "The Tommyknockers". The story is amazing and keeps you turning the pages because you are just so anxious to see what happens next. It not only creates a brand new story but it also uses characters and images from the story "IT", however it is not a sequel to that incredible book. It is a great novel in it's own way. If you love conspiracy, horror, and the unknown, you'll love this book. Just don't read it while sitting alone in the dark!

Summary: OOPS
Review: I think Mr. King suffered brain damage in his recent accident. This novel starts out with a great idea and then becomes an un-readable jumble.
Rating:
Summary: Good, but not his best
Review: The depth of the characters in this book are extrordinary, yet it doesn't take you on the ride that Mr. King's previous books have taken me on. A truely original adaptation of a classic tale man has waited long to discover. That alone makes it worth reading.
