Negative Positive
Title: Slow and lame, and totally not scary
Review: I foolishly bought this book based on Stephen King's dustjacket tout that it was the best book he'd read all year, and was sadly disappointed to learn that Mr. King apparently had yet to read any books at all this year prior to this one. While the writing is okay, the story is WAAAAAAAAAAAY too long for what it is, and frankly lame and silly. Flesh eating plants that won't let you go and make fun of you --- oooh!! ahhh! Totally stupid plot, with average or dopey characters. Why on earth nobody bothered to burn out these stupid plants with napalm before, or simply seed the entire hill and mine with salt (since apparently that stops it from growing) is an unsolved mystery in this goofey novel. At best, a book to read while stranded in the airport, then toss.
Is the review positive or negative?
