A review by xoxcharm
Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
3.0
I remember this being one of my favorite books in high school, but I was recently going through my boxes of books and realized I couldn't remember the plot of this at all, and in fact only remembered one little scene/concept of a man inside his own mind where his memories are filed into boxes in a warehouse.
Well, this book turned out to be kind of classic Stephen King. Creepy and suspenseful, extra-terrestrials, harsh and ironic and sarcastic and irreverent view of human behavior, showing the beauty and the best that mankind has to offer, and also the worst and most cringey and yet utterly believable behavior that we can exhibit.
Oh, and the little concept that stuck in my memory starts around page 300 and develops from there, but didn't quite match up! So I must've combined it with another story I read which has now completely escaped me.
In any case, after rereading this, I was a little confused about why I might've considered a favorite book. And I actually think what it was is that I was obsessed with swear words and little catch phrases back in high school, and this book is full of things like "SSDD" and "FUBAR." *shrug* I'm not judging my younger self. At least I can let go of this 600+ hardcover (beautiful cover illustration though, that and the title might've swayed me as well) with no regrets.
