Book Reviews of The Talisman
Book Review: (The Stand) x 2
Summary: 4 Stars
I really enjoyed The Talisman, but it did take me a few weeks to finish (I generally read books in 2-3 days - this one took at least 3 weeks). The writing in this book is almost mythological in character, definitely following The Stand's evil-vs-good story. The story is about 12-year old Jack's journey from New Hampshire to California in search of the Talisman. Once he finds the Talisman, his mother's lengthy cancerous illness will be gone, and she will live. The journey is at times bizarre, but never your typical gorey Stephen King.
I recommend this book for newbies to King who aren't as interested in the disgusting factor. Bewarned, this book will take a long time to read though.
