Negative Positive
Title: I'm glad I checked it out from the library.
Review: I wouldn't have bothered to read this if I had realized that it's just a teaser for King's new TV show. The "story" ends abruptly with no resolution, presumably to make one sure to tune in to get one, which makes me feel cheap and used. I'd probably be more disgruntled but I didn't actually purchase the book.Other than that, it's not an abysmally bad story, but it's not great or ground-breaking either. The plotline seemed a little too generic for King, which makes more sense now that I have read that it's a re-interpretation of a work by Von Trier.I think some of King's work is really excellent, but I would rank this towards the bottom of his writings. That said, being ranked low for King is better than some author's best, especially in the "horror" genre.
Is the review positive or negative?
