Title: Far from Steven King's best
Product review: Perhaps I'm becoming a little jaded, having read most of Kings works, but this is far from his best. The Regulators is basically alot of "same old..been there, done that" the telepathically manipulative Evil presence (Tak) that wreaks havoc in ways that are way out, too incredible to be believed. It's never made clear what Taks motives are , if it is an alien, or what. The characters or more aptly "caricatures" are wooden and engender no sympathy, the way you cared for the children in "IT", or the little Torrence boy in "The SHINING". The only thing the book inspired in me was a desire to go out & rent a video of the 50's movie western that gives the book its title. I think this is a case of mailing it in; he's done it all before and done it better. I will admit, that it's still a page turner once the action starts.
