Bloated, but with more to consider than I'd expected

3 stars

Far more to chew on than Carrie or Pet Sematary—and not just because it has too many characters and asides that, hey, maybe should've been edited down or removed. It's strange and angry, goofy and horrific, like a Coke machine flying at your head at 80mph.

terrible

There's a good book somewhere in these ideas, but it's not this one. It's bad! Even King says so, and he's correct. Deeply and inexplicably misogynist. Edward Hermann did a good job of reading it though.

Review of 'The Tommyknockers' on 'Storygraph'

2 stars

I for one like the slow build-up phase of this book. What I don't like, however, is the way King once again has to describe the monsters and therefore kill all carefully created atmosphere in the last 100 pages. Nice try, but it just doesn't work that way.
