Title: Remember this isn't "Stephen King"
Product review: This was an extremely enjoyable book, Desperation's "evil twin" if one could say that. Remember, this isn't the "real" Stephen King writing. The Regulators and Desperation have no true plot connection - the characters' names are reused in each book, yet flipped around to those of a different age and personality. It is in this way that The Regulators (if read before or after Desperation) is a melodramatic and freaky story. Don't expect the usual King. Instead, expect a horror story in the setting of an over-perfect (almost already completely surreal), town that gets even more surreal. If you read the back of the book before you start the full text (if you know what's about to happen right from the start), the novel is terrifying. Get it with Desperation and enjoy both of them as separate parts of a truly nasty whole.
