Title: Poke My Eyes Out, Please!
Review: Stephen King, along with Ann Rice and JRR Tolkien, are three of the most overrated writers in history, and for the exact same reason: They inundate and blugeon the reader with so much excruciating detail and pointless description that it destroys any momentum or urgency the story should have. Any pacing it does have ends up feeling like watching grass grow. I read this book after a friend of my practically BEGGED me to read it, because we are both fantasy junkies. After about page 30 I knew it wasn't going to happen, but I managed to make it to page 60, and then I couldn't go any further. It was physically painful at that point. I couldn't believe--and still can't--that this man is considered such a great writer. He probably would be, if his books were edited down to about HALF their length. Skip this one and all of his other books, too.
