Title: Good Beginning, Slow Middle, Awful Conclusion
Review: I'm not really into horror books, and haven't read but a couple of King's. I loved "From a Buick 8" and "Lisey's Story". This one, though, seemed to be written at about a sixth grade level. You really had to suspend reality to get through this one. How did people in different places hundreds of miles apart come up with the same terms, like "phoners", and "pulse", etc.? And I don't believe for a second that Clay, when he finally stumbles across his wife, would shove her out of his way like she'd never meant a thing to him. My biggest problem with the book is that King never tells us what caused the pulse, who did it, why they did it, was his son ever ok, did the world re-build itself, and on and on. I actually checked the binding of the library book because I was sure the last pages were torn out! I don't need an author to connect all the dots . . . just the POINT of the whole thing!
Is the review positive or negative?
