Title: Tourists among Zombies
Review: This might have been an interesting idea for a short story (like du Maurier's The Birds), it might even have made an interesting novel if planned properly (like Crichton's Prey), but King just lets the narrative ramble on in a meandering way. The main characters are tourists for much of the story. They walk a lot and they look a lot, but they don't do much, and the things they do consist mainly of blowing things up; the American Way, perhaps, but hardly imaginative storytelling. It isn't even scary, because so little happens. If it weren't for King's fluency of language it would have been a torment to read.
