Summary of this Book... | ||
At the end of the world after a pandemic, the forces of good and evil gather for a final showdown. This, to me, is the most over-rated Stephen King book. I struggled to get through it when I first read it, then read the expanded edition in case I was missing something, but, nope - I struggled to get into it. It might be because of my own personal beliefs, but I think it was just way too long. This book is loved by many King fans; my opinion of this book saw me hounded out of a King fan forum in the early days of the Internet. I could not get into the characters, found the bad guy to be comically bad, the good woman to be too good and the whole felt more like a parody than a horror or thriller story, just without any humour. | ||
This type of Book is good for... | ||
Fans, I guess. But a lot of people like it for whatever reason. | ||
I especially liked... | ||
The initial descriptions of the pandemic and how it affected the world. Takes on a different feeling now, though! | ||
I didn't like... | ||
A lot of the characters and the interminable length. | ||
When I finished reading this Book I wanted to... | ||
Read something short and funny. | ||
This Book made me feel... | ||
Bored. | ||
The author of this Book... | ||
King has written so much stuff over the years (including my favourite ever book - "Christine" ) that some things were bound to end up not as good as others. So I let this slide as one of his few misses and move onto the next one. | ||
Further Comments... | ||
I cannot really recommend or not recommend this as I think my opinion is too different, but I found this long and boring. | ||
