People are wildly over critical of this book. Lots of people upset that they read a body horror book that - gasp - has body horror in it.

Loved:
• engaging chase/race against time
• memorable/interesting concept executed well
• the relationship and interconnected backstory of main characters
• how the telepathy was used by characters to progress the plot
• made me laugh out loud at times
• perfect timing between pov switches
Only things I disliked:
• lots of cursing/vulgarity
• a tad repetitive cuz of all the povs but it still works
But I understan how a lot of ppl could hate it for sure

Another King novel down. Only three remaining to be read.
I didn't have particularly high expectations headed into Dreamcatcher. That's good. It was... not great.
I really liked Part One. But the train came off the rails. Low three-star rating here.

Une petite saucette dans la science-fiction de la part de King, mais qui ne passera pas à l’histoire. Après un début fort impressionnant malgré des passages très dégueulasses avec les histoires de toilettes, le rythme du roman dans la deuxième partie a perdu beaucoup de son lustre et de son énergie. Je n’ai pas beaucoup cru aux personnages militaires, malgré une course-à-la-montre qui semblait bien se dessiner. Le roman à mon humble avis, a beaucoup souffert avec une façon non-linéaire de raconter l’histoire et un manque de profondeur des personnages, en particulier le groupe d’amis, qui aurait gagné à être mieux développé.
Malgré quelques références à ses autres romans (Ça, Shawshank Redemption, etc.) et des passages absurdes de la possession extraterrestre que j’ai trouvé fort bien sympathiques, ce roman m’a semblé très décousu avec une intrigue trop complexe qui pourtant, aurait gagné en efficacité avec une simplicité dans son exécution. Une lecture parsemée de bons moments, mais insuffisant pour en faire une recommandation d’un must de l’œuvre de Stephen King.
Une expérience intéressante, mais qui a manqué beaucoup de tact à l’arrivée.

I'm giving this a lot of leeway because it’s completely bonkers. Some of it works, a lot of it doesn’t, but it’s SUCH a huge swing I can’t help but respect it for how bananas it is.
