Title: A King story worth the crown
Review: This book was Stephen King doing what Stephen King does best: making readers squirm. The story was more realistic than many of his other adventures--The Dark Tower Series, Pet Sematary, and Black House, to name a few--and because of its more practical backdrop the main character (Trisha) was truly able to shine. There was comedy, albeit gross humor, and a true sense of danger in this tale. One felt as if what happened to Trisha could, in fact, happen to him or her, which was a terrifying prospect. That King also used hallucinations (caused by the starvation felt by the little girl) to create elaborately horrifying scenes with his monster was, again, very smart and scary. All in all, it's a good read, it's definitely worth your time, and it's a great introduction to the works of a master storyteller.
