Ab...As I recall many years ago, I loved "The Raft". About that oily monster eating kids, right? I think I even remember the sex scene pretty clearly, must have been formative at the time!<BR/><BR/>I think that was the first piece he wrote that made him money, right? Enough to pay off a fine he had collected for stealing witches hats (you know, those pointy orange things on road work sites)...<BR/><BR/>Damn.. I dont know which subterranean memory vault that came from... but the brain is a marvellous thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689036.post-1157154468378197192006-09-01T17:47:00.000-06:002006-09-01T17:47:00.000-06:00You could probably tell that I thought about warni...You could probably tell that I thought about warning you off. I agree pretty much dead on with your review. I kept hoping the "heros" would do something.<BR/><BR/>Read 'Salem's Lot next time you think about King. Maybe The Stand, though I think you might not be the biggest fan of the ending. I am also a huge fan of The Gunslinger, but mainly because it reminds me of a Spaghetti Western. But SL is actually scary, and the heros are heroic.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07406832361778268469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9689036.post-1157132107647756242006-09-01T11:35:00.000-06:002006-09-01T11:35:00.000-06:00I feel your pain.

I've read a number of his works and seen many more on TV and they for the most part all have great premises, but then completely fall apart by the ending. It's almost as if he gets progressively more tired as he writes and then just gives up. This came up in a discussion with his son (who went to my college) and his son said he will bring a new (better?) type of writing to the King name. So far he's published one book (We're All in This Together: A Novella and Stories) and it has gotten good reviews.Haydenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814349451775474843noreply@blogger.com
