Title: This book makes me mad
Review: Having read more than a dozen King books over the years this book made me angry. I feel like I was ripped off on this one for two reasons. One, I lived through the period he wrote of and to have the character who gets the most space in the book have no bigger problem in his life than getting addicted to hearts and falling behind in his studies at the University of Maine is slightly rediculous. Two, the book reads more like a collection of short stories than a novel. The characters in each story are tied together by the flimsiest of plot inserts, so that a character who is barely fleshed out in one part appears in another part as a wholly different character. It seems to me that King must have gotten addicted to hearts while he was writing this one. I give him a C-. It holds your interest but at the end it was all cotton candy!
