Book Reviews of Dreamcatcher
Book Review: dreamcatcher
Summary: 4 Stars
Dream catcher by is a very interesting novel which is worth dedicating your time to. It was written by Stephen king and is one of his many science fiction books. The story takes place in current times and the setting spreads from suburban areas to deep in the woods. The author uses excellent descriptions which allow you to visualize the scene as if you were there. The interaction that the main characters have with the setting makes the book even easier to imagine by putting the readers in situation that they have personally been in. All of these factors make the book more enjoyable to read.
The setting is not the only well developed factor of the story. Much time was also put into the development of all the stories characters. Each and every character could be looked at as a real person and if u saw them on the street you could walk up to them and have a conversation with them. Most of the characters are friendly and have you rooting for them in the end but a few just get under your skin and have you hoping that there future is not great. Overall the characters are well handled and are a contributing factor to the greatness of the book.
The most important feature of the book is of course the plot. The plot of this book would have to be one of my favorites. It feature the adventures of childhood friends
And spans to one final endeavor that will prove what friendship really is. It features everything from hunting to special force to aliens and many other things. This book is sure to appeal all audiences and offers something to anyone who enjoys reading.

Book Review: great read from the start
Summary: 5 Stars
Its been a while since I read a Stephen King book this good (I've read them all). It does not take long for this story to get going. I couldn't put it down from almost the very beginning. I loved this book!Book Review: stephen king's "dreamcatcher"
Summary: 5 Stars
i am told there is a movie out there based on this book and i am told it is not very good, with that said i must say this is an excellent book ( of course, it's stephen king!) with a very intricate storyline. i can't imagine it ever making it onto the "big screen"; multi-layered characters, perspectives and time-lines - way too much to try and put into a visual story. the mind is the ultimate movie screen in this instance. great read.Book Review: therapy catcher
Summary: 2 Stars
Mr. King obviously has a little anger to work out. In the first three chapters of the book, three of the four main characters are in major car acccidents, depressed, suicidal and just plain angry. While most people pay for therapy, Mr. King has obviously discovered a way to foment his anger about the universe and car accidents by writing about his own personal experiences, thinly veiled by the fiction the publisher prints.But the real problem with the book is not the story, the unfairness of the universe or aliens bopping into Maine. The problem of the book is simply that it is an ugly book. Characters in the book display no beauty, speak in an unending stream of four letter words and provide laughs through sophomoric stunts of farting and belching.
I truly thought "The Sixth Mile" was one of the most uplifting pieces I have read. But obviously, "Dreamcatcher has not caught the dreams of beauty and truth.
