Title: Poor man's version of The Stand
Review: Sorry-- I felt that way throughout the reading of this silly book, and before I read any review that referred to The Stand. When will King figure out that his shorter, tighter, and much better written novels/novellas, i.e., Misery, The Body, Shawshank Redemption, Rose Madder, The Girl Who Loved Tom Jones, and Dolores Claiborne (even Cujo), to name a few, showcase the kind of writer he could be, consistently. Even Dean Koontz eventually improved, although it took him almost 20 years. One last thing: the ending of this book made me want to throw it across the room. It was the biggest letdown in any King book I've ever read. Maybe in any book I've ever read. I would not recommend this book to ANYONE.
Is the review positive or negative?
