The Dark Half

Summary: Suddenly...........I'm not half the man I used to be...
Review: This book takes a fresh and interesting approach to the Jekyll and Hyde story, when a writer (Thad Beaumont, mispelled I'm sure}decides to divorce himself from his pseudonym aka George Stark and to hold a mock funeral for this writer of substantialy darker fiction than his own.
Unfortunatly, Thad has already indulged this darker side of his psyche on too frequent a level and suddenly the make believe grave of his make believe author is found open with footprints leaving the scene. Could this be some joke? Perhapse in this world but in the ,miraculous world of Stephen King..I think not!
A monsterous game of cat and mouse follows and the result is an exciting, grotesque, and genuinly creepy novel.
Hidden more subtly beneath the story of this book is once again a social statement about the way we deal with the different sides of our personalities and also the idea of the Celebrity and the life given to it by the public.

Summary: A Book you can stop reading
Review: This was the first king book I've read, And at the time, the best book I've had the pleasure of reading, (until I read Green Mile by King), from the minute you find out whats in Thad's head(more way than one) your glued to it, I mean, this book was great.

Summary: WAY too long!!
Review: When I started this book, it was pretty good, but it just dragged on too long. During the second half of the book, I already knew what was going to happen and it got so boring that I didn't even finish it.
