Title: Stephen, What Were You Thinking?
Review: Setting aside Stephen King's head-scratcher of an endorsement, this isn't much more than an overextended survivalist story with an unimpressive monster thrown in for good measure. Take away the monster, substitute a desert island for the ruins, and the only thing that would change about the book would be its length. (If you've read it, you'll understand.) It kept me reading through the end, which is something; but it ultimately feels like a cheap knock-off of Dean Koontz's "Phantoms." It wasn't worth the five or so hours I invested in it.
