Book Reviews of The Talisman
Book Review: Basically very good - just too long
Summary: 3 Stars
I really did like this book - until I had gotten about 2/3 into it - then it bogged down. And, it's not the length, per say, that's a problem - I love "The Stand". However, the story itself is very good - I really liked the characters and the relationships between the them. It just took too long for Jack and Richard to get into that hotel once they arrived in CA. While I probably won't read this again, I would recommend it to folks.Book Review: Best Book ever written!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Talisman is the best book I have ever read in my life! It has nonstop action and you will never be able to put the book down! Stephen King has a way of making you feel like the characters are your best friends. I've only read 4 of his books, but this one is by far the best. Besides the cursing and a few overly gruesome descriptions this book is spectacular!Book Review: Best book I've ever read
Summary: 5 Stars
I am 40 years old and have read this book several times in the past 15 years. It is wonderful. If you love fantasy/mystery/good vs. evil type books, this one is for you.Book Review: Best book of all time if you can get past the first 100 pgs
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a very big reader. I read one book a week with is very uncommon for somone of my age 17. I read this book a few years ago and I have yet to find a book that is any better. The story is just so epic and amazing with very likeable heroes and villians that you love to hate.
This book is filled with a very melancholy outlook but they manage to throw in a little humor along (there is somthing to do with marijuana that still makes me grin to think about). This is deffinitly Stephen Kings best work and I think that he had a bigger hand in the making making of this book than Peter Straub, because I have read a book by Straub and he is not that talented. So if you like Straub back away because this is a King Book.
If you are a fan of the Dark Tower series you will really like this because this book links up with those. And if you really like this book go over and check out the Black House, the sequal to this story. It is not as good because this book would be impposible to surpass but it is still a great book and very original.
So if I were you I would stop reading this review right now and just order the darn thing! If you are reading this you do not know how much time you are wasting. You could have started on getting this book on the way to your house, each second longer you read this is a second longer that you wil wast while waiting for this book to arrive. Stop reading now. This book is to good to wait for. Ok if you will not stop reading this I will stop writing. Juat remember that you have to buy this book because there has never been anything, nor wiil there ever be anything, better then this book. So put this thing in your cart and get a move on. NUFF SAID.
Book Review: Classic King Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I first picked this book up because of the hype from the release of "The Black House". While reading this story, it reminded me much of "The Stand" because of the long journey and the quest across the country.I found it also to be a great fantasy story about a boy who overcomes his fears. It is a great story of a quest, much like that of Ulysees.
