Title: **SIGH**
Review: Once in a while, Stephen King writes something that makes me swear off Stephen King for awhile. This was the first time I had read something by Stephen King that I didn't like. The vast majority of Stephen King books are great or at least good. In this one, King creates likeable characters - then kills them off. The protagonists left over are completely unlikeable. There is also an improbable, unhinted-at plot twist: the aliens lack common sense. It felt like King wrote the story into a corner, then had to throw in a way to beat the omnipotent baddies.I am not saying that this book is bad or not worth reading - nothing Stephen King writes meets that description. I would start with something else and put this at the bottom of the pile, under The Stand, It, Salem's Lot, The Dead Zone . . . and just about everything else King wrote except Cell (which has the same plot problems, albeit with likeable protagonists).
