Title: Stephen King disappoints for the first time
Review: Considering how many novels I've read by Stephen King, and considering that he is my favorite author, I am devastated that this book disappointed me SO much! Some of King's earlier works are not among his highest rated works (according to me) but this book is lower than all of them. For the first time I had to force myself to keep reading this book through to the finish because I simply could not get to any excitement. Ever. True this book may simply serve as an introduction to King's "magnum opus", but to save his readers from allowing the tragic dismay at the lack of excitement and unfulfilling plot from dissuading them to continue on with the series, this book ought to be combined with the second. After all, this book left me feeling like I had wasted $9.00 on what I thought would be a sure bet. I'm sure that I will continue on to "The Drawing of the Three", but I will not be buying it.
Is the review positive or negative?
