Title: FALLS BELOW EXPECTATIONS
Review: The more time that passes since reading this book, the more disappointed I am. Although a fast and compelling read, I can't shake the feeling that all I've done is read the outline of a much better book.Readers will naturally draw comparisons to "IT" because of the life long friendship, anchored by a life changing experience in adolescence, of the four main characters. But what King did with such skill and beauty in "IT", drawing us into the make up of the individuals as well as the group dynamic, he merely pays lip service to in "Dreamcatcher". King sets us up with the key elements, but fails to deliver. We get only one course of the meal King has taught us to expect.This book made me want to re-read "IT", which I am currently doing with great pleasure.
