Title: Not the sequel we were hoping for
Review: For months before the release of Dreamcatcher I was crazy with anticipation, certain that Dreamcatcher was a sequel to IT (based on the promotional material, can you blame me?) I was upset when my hopes were dashed (for a while I even tried to convince myself that MAYBE Dreamcatcher was taking place in a parallel world, in which Jonesy is Big Bill's twinner...) Needless to say, this didn't work for long, and I eventually had to come to terms with reality: Dreamcatcher is not very good. What amazed me was that the prologue contains some of King's best writing (I can only assume that the prologue and the rest of the novel were written at separate times). My advice to you is this: read the prologue while enjoying a coffee at your nearest bookseller / cafe. Purchase something else, such as Hearts in Atlantis (which is, in my opinion, one of King's best!)
Is the review positive or negative?
