Title: Eh ...
Review: Salem's Lot is a really cool book. The infection of the entire town is methodical and all too possible. Barlow's seduction of individuals is entrancing. And the town's seemingly willing turn to the night is spooky. But ...But I found it difficult to care for the heros for any other reason than they were fighting (evil). Yes, Mark had his parents to fight for and he was remarkable in that seeing his partents killed didn't completely short his brain out. But King's insistance on telling the reader how quick the boy's mind was again and again was a little insulting. Yes he's a smart kid, yes he's strong THANK YOU!As much as I usually like King's work, and as much as i found myself wrapped up in the progression of the story ... I feel fairly non-commital about the whole thing. Eh ...
