Title: The Thrill is Gone
Review: I just love reading King, I think 90% of what he's written is pure genius, but this one falls short on many levels. No excitement, no thrill, not much of a plot either. Maybe this might satisfy juveniles, I don't know. I didn't find the young heroine particularly interesting, although she is clever enough to stay alive. But the book died somewhere early on. I can't say pass this one by since King is a great writer and there's always something to admire in how he writes, but not all his stories are worth the energy to read. I admit I like King's crazed psychopaths best, but I also appreciate his tamer stuff, usually. Not this time.
