Play Book Tag discussion

Sad to say, this is one of the most boring books I've read lately. It's the fourth book I read by Stephen King, and I was definitely expecting more. I loved The Stand and The Shining, while I didn't much care for Carrie, but that's probably just because I was too young when I read it. This book was recommended to me by a regular reader of my blog, so I thought it would be good, since the reader was supposed to know my tastes by then. Nope. I didn't find it full of horror and I didn't find it suspensful. The last 50 pages or so weren't bad, quite thrilling in fact, but that's certainly not enough to make up for the first 300. I thought this might have read better as a short story of no more than 100 pages. I found it incredibly repetitive and wordy. The same kind of stuff keeps happening throughout the novel - now, I understand that the Buick is a strange object, not really a car at all but rather something like a door to another dimension. That's all right. But I didn't need for that to be repeated time and time again. I didn't need to see the same (or at least, similar) things happen again and again. That's just plain boring. This novel was just not for me, but this doesn't mean I won't keep reading King's books.

I recommend any of the following: IT, Needful Things, Pet Semetery, Dr. Sleep or Insomnia. They are all scary and good (in my opinion). Hope you enjoy!

Oh, and Misery too!

Thanks so much for the recommendations, Charlie :)
