Title: Eh
Review: I admit, I was put off immediately by King's author's note, in which he insulted the Lord of the Rings, saying it was a 'slightly sunnier version of dracula' or some book like that. Pfft. You could do worse than the brilliant Mr. Tolkien, King.That said, the book was lackluster. King was trying to rewrite his favorite book, Dracula. It didn't work.The characters. I just didn't care about them. Like the one-note Robert Langdon in the da Vinci Code, Ben Mears is bland, one note, and boring. I didn't much care for the people in the town, either. King did not give them enough depth for me to care.However, King writes suspense well. I'll give him props for that.
