Title: Lame
Review: The setup is by far the best part of this clumsy tale about friendship and aliens. I don't want to give away the plot, but I was hoping that the four (five) friends would stay together and their relationships would deepen. Instead, the story fragments and turns into a tangle of cliches.While King's trademark humor and descriptiveness are present (the reason it even gets 2 stars), and some of the characters are developed well (Jonesy, Henry, Duds), the whole thing reads like something you've read before, only flimsier, more rambling, and less compelling this time around.The Duddits character and the flashback scenes are worth saving. Too bad he couldn't have written a 400 page book and concentrated on that part, and left the little green men out of it.
Is the review positive or negative?
