Negative Positive
Title: cobbled together, it's a re-hash of earlier works
Review: I found that this book to be much like other books written by King, and it even mirrors King's apperance in the 80's film "Creepshow", in the segment where King himself plays a character who is reduced to the "Hemingway solution" when a certain green growth overtakes his person and house like kudzu after a meteor falls. (Sound familiar?) Certain elements from "Stand By Me" (the four childhood pals), "The Stand" (telepathy and the end-game plot) and of course, "TommyKnockers" (aliens who make your teeth fall out) are also re-hashed in this novel. I feel that Robert McCammon's "Stinger" is a better novel depicting human-to-alien transformations.
Is the review positive or negative?
