I liked it. *spoilers* Sareitha Sedai Send a noteboard - 30/08/2010 05:01:25 PM
Don't.

I say that as a ravenous King fan. Just don't.

So much potential, so many nicely established characters, so many possible ways the plot could have developed and it all turned to crap. My least favorite King book in years.

Don't.


I think it was very successful at what King intended...developing the characters and the plot of what happened as a result of the appearance of the Dome.

I don't think it was successful at resolving why the Dome was there or why it was ultimately removed. But I really don't think that was what King cared about, the story he wanted to tell. And I was okay with that because I enjoyed (and was freaked out by) the story he wanted to tell very much.

If you are from Betelgeuse, please have one of your Earth friends read what I've written before you respond. Or try concentrating harder.

He has never been the same since 1) getting off drugs and 2) getting hit by the car. everynametaken - 06/01/2010 01:36:24 AM 891 Views
I think the drug issue had more to do with it than the car. Tigr - 06/01/2010 02:20:00 PM 915 Views

The first half is probably all that most reviewers managed to get through before they Jacob - 06/01/2010 03:14:02 PM 832 Views
All of this is very disheartening considering the recent New Dark Tower Book announcement. MonCul - 06/01/2010 04:30:34 PM 935 Views
