Title: Stephen King mails it in.
Review: Wow. I never thought I'd see this. I've been reading King since I was a kid and have always enjoyed his books, defended him against elitist snobbery, but never again. I feel like I should get my money back, that this is just shy of fraud. In any case, it is laziness of the highest order. The story isn't finished or brought together as all mysteries should. Also, he didn't make any effort to fact-check, and his editor must have been asleep (probably bored by the story). Example: The story is set in 1980, and the character does three things that couldn't have happened then. First, he has a Diet Coke. Nope. No such thing in 1980. Second, he and his wife enjoyed renting movies at Blockbuster. Nope. No Blockbuster in 1980. Lastly, the character runs out of his office for a "real coffee" at Starbucks. In Denver, 1980. Nope. Starbucks existed, but was one store in Seattle. Laziness.
