Summary: The Dead Zone - A Must Read
Review: I have been a Stephen King fan for 14 years and still have notread all of his books. Each time I find one that I have not read yet,I open it and begin my journey. I found The Dead Zone absolutely great reading. I would recommend it to any Stephen King reader who has not had a chance to catch this one. Even though I was only about 5 years old in the early '70s, I found reading this book very entertaining and found myself easily drawn to the era. I think that alot of people have always wanted to have the ability to see into the future or know someone's true past, just as the main character, Johnny Smith, has come to possess in this book. But, have we ever stopped to think of the consequencies of having that power? The Dead Zone definetly gives you the opportunity to think about it. A MUST READ THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS! END

Summary: One of Stephen King's best
Review: I've read most of what Stephen King has read, including the outstanding novel "The Stand" and the amazingly suspenseful and strangely poignant "The Long Walk," which remains the only novel to genuinely scare me. However, no story by King has been as compelling, as emotional, and as well-written as his 1979 gem, "The Dead Zone."The protagonist is as simple as the name he is given--Johnny Smith--and early in the novel the reader discovers that he has the ability to see into the future somewhat. A bit later on, Johnny gets in a severe car accident and stays in a coma for four and a half years. When he awakens, the world has changed completely. Vietnam is no longer the central issue of America, Richard Nixon has been impeached, and a young hotshot named Greg Stillson is attempting to run for the Presidency in 1980, the latter incident being a major subplot which will culminate in a shocking conclusion. Also giving the novel its depthness is the love story regarding Johnny and his sweetheart prior to the accident, but who is married upon his awakening--the woman he loved more than anyone, a woman named Sarah Bracknell. There is also an intriguing subplot dealing with a serial killer as well as one regarding the trials and tribulations of an academically struggling football player in high school. All in all, this novel is gripping from start to finish, and its effect resonates long after it has been read. There is a big moral issue to contemplate throughout the novel--how should Johnny Smith use his powers? Johnny himself posed the question: "If you could go back in time and had the chance to kill Hitler, would you do it?" This is my favorite Stephen King novel, and I anticipate reading it again sometime and knowing I'll have to wipe the beginnings of tears from the corner of my eye--the ending is very powerful, you see...

Summary: Gripping Read
Review: Like all his stuff, I looked forward to reading this and enjoyed it. It's a page turner. Not as scary as IT but still has its good parts. King's got a problem with bloat. I seem to have been able to stomach it more in my youth. Now, I just flip through chapters and STILL know exactly what's gonna happen/what's going on. The whole Sarah love story was a little lame. No real point and it didn't seem like either one of them was better off knowing the other. I don't think I'll read this one again.

Summary: One of the best
Review: This book by Stephen King, the genius of horror, does a remarkable job on this book. It tells a story about a high school teacher named Johnny. On the way home from a date with this recent "love" ,who works with him,he gets in a terrible car accident and is in a comma for 4 and 1/2 years. When he wakes up he has a second sight and the public wants to know all about it. His love has gotten married, the world around him has changed, and he can't get away from the public. Excellent book of Stephen King expressing his feelings on hows it like to be in the public eye.

Summary: Another Great book by Stephen King
Review: Actually, I would give this book 4 1/2 stars. This book was excellent. It had a great, original plot that kept your eyes glued to the book. After you read the book, you should also watch the movie with Martin Sheen and Christopher Walken. The only bad part of the book is that it seemed to come up with an ending too quickly. The ending of the book just left you hanging, but overall, it is still a good book. Also recommended is The stand, IT, Bag of bones, and A Simple Plan by Scott Smith.

Summary: the dead zone
Review: This book is probably the forth or fifth book that I've read from Stephen King. This book was more of a thriller than a horror book. It talks about a man who can see into people's lives by just touching their hands. He recieves this power after being in a coma for four years. This book really grabs you and keeps your attention for the whole thing.

Summary: It stays with you...and then see the movie for more fun
Review: This is not Stephen King's best-written novel, but it is yummy as a story with loads of kinky ideas. It has...well...atmosphere! You do not forget this novel, and then, if you see the movie with Christopher Walken and Martin Sheen, you are guaranteed never to forget it. It has a true nightmare quality. As a writer it hs stayed with me as far as the ideas go. And when business is bad I always say I'm going through a "Dead Zone." And when I say that, I am definitely referring to this book, because I'm a professional psychic whose clients, though they often ask for revelation, don't really want to hear it when it comes! Stephen, dear friend. What a fun companion you have been. Feel great, man, and know this: if you never write another word, I, for one, will always be grateful, if only for The Dead Zone.

Summary: A true Novel.
Review: If Stephen were perfect, then I'd be a cat. In other words, Stephen is amazing. Nobody's perfect. Stephen does not prove to be perfect but he does prove to be intelligent in this 1. Oh hold it....never mind. Email me if you have time and if you agree that Stephen is great! (NBXr70@aol.com)

Summary: Almost 5 , but have to save something for my all-time faves
Review: I am a huge fan of Stephen King, and The Dead Zone is indeed a wonderful novel. It is especially good for those who want a taste of King's excellent story-telling without the blood and guts and monsters (also try The Green Mile and Different Seasons). Somehow it fails to ascend quite to the heights of my absolute favorite King novels (The Stand, and [believe it or not] Wizard and Glass, among others). Maybe I like the ultra-bizarre, perhaps I found the pacing a bit off, maybe I just have bad taste... For whatever reason, the Dead Zone joins the ranks of the second most adored group of King novels I have ever read.

Summary: it's awesome
Review: i started this book on 10/12 that's when i picked it up from my teacher's libaray. this book is so interesting that i can't hardly put it down. it's a pretty long book and that is why it is taking me a while to finish it. This is my first book by stephen king and i can't wait try the others. in this book i can give you review of the book till the page i am up to. this book is about a guy named johnny who gets into a car accident and injures his head. he does survives but stays in a coma for four and a half years. when he finally wakes up he sees that a lot of things have changed around but he also realizes that he has gotten a second sight meaning that he could predict a person's future by justing touching their hand. this is the part where i am to right now. i just can't wait to see what happens. and also i think all you people out there should try it.
