Title: erm... uh... well
Review: Don't get me wrong, I a HUGE King fan. I love most everything he has ever written, he's a phenomenal author, yadda yadda yadda... but this book just didn't seem to do it for me. And it's a shame, ya know, because the basic idea is just so damn good! Zealot mom brainwashes and abuses daughter, daughter wants to break free, has telekinetic powers, made fun of at school, kills them all... that's great! But this book didn't have the character development that I've come to expect from King... maybe I've been spoiled! Also the plot seemed too simple - but that isn't my biggest complaint. Sometimes short and sweet is great. But why waste a wonderful idea on such short sweetness? Oh well, to each his own. My opinion of Stephen King is still as high as ever... in fact this makes me even more eager to read even more, better books by him!
