Summary: Not The Best but Also Not The Worst Book I've Ever Read!
Review: I like Stephen King and have read books of his that I thought were so good that I couldn't put them down until I read the very last page and though not terrible I just found I had a hard time getting through this book and wound up skipping some pages that I found tedious. Now I think the Dead Zone is better than 1 or 2 stars but I wouldn't give it more than 3. It's just my personal opinion.

Summary: One of the best books I have Ever READ.
Review: This book is an excellent book, its for everyone. Throughout it you will be mesmorized by Kings words, and it will seems as if you were in the story. King paints a beutiful picture in your mind throughout the whole story. At the begging of the book, when Greg Stillson assaults that dog, King actually makes you beggin to despise him in every way - even if your not that much of an animal lover. Kings way of writing is just marvellous. I have read all of his books up to date. And by far if there is any book of his you should read first, it would have to be The Dead Zone. -- Then maybe settle it with a little Carrie, and then some Salems Lot.So overall, a fan of reading, or not would enjoy this book. And would soon find themselves picking some of Kings other titles aswell.

Summary: long developed dissappointing ending
Review: This is the first Stephen King novel I read. I approached this book expecting a horror/thriller ride, but this book was no where close to what I had expected. The plot takes a disproportionate length of the book to build to the climax. I consantly found my self wondering when the climax would occur. Stephen King may be "the" horror writer, however the Dead Zone will dissappoint any reader expecting horror.

Summary: Best King Novel Ever - One of best novels I've ever read
Review: This book was so emoitionally compelling I cried for an hour after I finished it. This is the best character development I've seen King create. You will be on an emotional roller coaster with this read. From lip biting suspense, to tear-jerking scene, this book will leave you hanging on to every word. A great read.

Summary: great plot, irrelevant sub-plots
Review: the main character is a man with potential psychic powers. sometimes he get visions. then he falls into a coma after an accident. wakes up after a few years. his psychic powers truly awakened. there is a lot of things that happen, so i won't go into detail. mainly in this story he gets to know that a certain man will become president and start nuclear warfare. and he must stop it. there is a lot of things happening before this, as he gets to know a lot of thing. there are some good details here. and i enjoyed the basic plot. but there should be but one plot here. the other things happening are not really sub-plots, just happenings, losing their relevance as we get to know what is really important here. so reading this the first time is interesting, re-reading it has always been a downer for me. kills a little of the suspence too. a murderer has relevance e.g., but considering nuclear warfare he is a boring sidetrack. i got into the characters, nothing to complain about there. the ending worked well.

Summary: The Dead Zone
Review: The Dead Zone by Stephen King is a suspense novel about a man named John Smith. He lives a normal life with a normal job as a teacher. He also has a girlfriend named Sarah. One night Jahn and Sarah go to the carnival in the next town over, and something very strange happens. Johnny walks up to the Wheel of Fortune, a wheel to make bets on and places his money down. Sure enough, the number spun was his number. He contunues to place bets and wins each time. To everyone's amazement, John wins five-hundred dollars before stopping. After dropping Sarah off at her home, John gets in to a taxi. At this moment, his luck starts to change. He gets in to a horrible accident that leaves him in a coma. He finally wakes four and a half years later to a totally different world. Sarah has married another man and his mother has become a religious lunatic. Even more different are Johhny's visions of the future, which he gets when touching people. This first occurs in the hospital when he tells a nurse about her house which is on fire. After this, Johnny helps solve a stirng of murders taking place in Castle Rock, Maine. Johnny's most horrific vision come afterwards. He has a vision of the end of the world when he shakes a local politician's hand. I believe that this is an excellent book with a great story line. The way the autor uses symbolism and thrilling sub-plots to move the story along is amazing. With all these subplots the story still moves along very smoothly. It remains suspenseful and entertaining until the very end. My favorite part of the book is when Johnny experiences his first vision, of the nurse's sone in a burnig house. This like many other parts of the book is very compelling. King made sure that you would never get bored while reading this book. I would recommend this book to almost anyone. If you enjoy an interesting and suspenseful story, than this is for you. Also if you are a fan of horror or suspense then this is a "must read book". stephen King's The Dead Zone is a great book that will definately not let you down.

Summary: The Dead Zone
Review: The Dead Zone by Stephen King is a fabulous book. From the very beginning the reader is drawn into the story and is left hanging on to the edge of you seat with every turn of the page.
The book is about a high school teacher, John Smith, who gets in a car accident and stays in a coma for four years. As everyone was giving up on John coming out of his coma, he wakes up. But Johnny does not come back completely normal, he comes back with something extra, which enables him to touch people, objects, anything and recieve images, words, information about the people or the people that held them.
But he soon starts to despise his gift, "This is my gift, this is also my curse," and refuses to use it. People send him things and want him to tell them what he sees. But then brutal murders start to occur and the local sheriff asks him for his help. He tells Johnny that he is his last resort. At first he refuses to help, but soon his own guilt gets the better of him. And so starts a mystery that will leave you in suspense and keep you wondering what will happen next.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in mystery, suspense, or things that deal with the supernatural.

Summary: Good, but Not the Best
Review: I am a huge fan and admirer of Stephen King and his work. Being a huge fan of the television show, I thought I'd give this book a try. From the beginning of the book, I found the series more interesting. I mean, I enjoyed the book a great deal, but I found that it moved kind of slow in parts that focused on Greg Stillson. Aside from that, I thought the book was a real page turner and a must-read for King fans.

Summary: Johnny Smiths Extra Sight
Review: A Review by Kyle As a young boy Johnny liked to ice skate, he wished he could play hockey with the big kids but he wasn't old enough, even though he was still going to get a taste of what it would be like. Johnny was just learning how to skate backwards when he got laid out by a huge hockey player everyone was afraid he would be dead, but he was alive and he woke up with a slight power to see into the future but it was not fully developed until he got older. An older Johnny now teaching high school was going to the fair with his girlfriend, she got sick so he took her home but he didn't know that he would not see her for the next four and a half years. This book was a great descriptive book such as this "Between these two was a picture of the almost totally demolished taxi, lying on its side like a dead dog." Mr. King also lets you get to know the characters even before the enter the storyline, he tells the story of a door to door salesman named Greg Stillson and shows him as an evil man as he beats a dog to death. The only thing I didn't like was that it was hard to understand where he was going when he would jump off topic and talk about someone or something different such as when out of nowhere he started talking about how Sarah was dealing with Johnny being in a coma and how she started dating again. I think that this is a great book and it is a must read for adults but I would not let any children read it because it dose get sexual and there are many bad words.

Summary: Not a Page Turner!
Review: I have read some Stephen King books that I liked that were real page turners that kept my interest but I didn't like The Dead Zone and didn't find it to be a page turner and it just absolutely failed to keep my interest and I found it a real drag to read and wasn't a book I added to my collection of books that I just had to keep.
