Dreamcatcher by Stephen King

3.0

---

Another solid entry from King. Not for the faint of heart, not just because of the really unfortunate body horror but because it was written in a time where the r-slur was not quite as loaded a word as it is now, and one of the main characters has Down's, so... it gets a bit rough to read sometimes. Interesting to hear so much about when King was hit by a car, and then to read the book he wrote in recovery and to see how elements of that traumatic experience come through in the book. I feel bad giving it 3 stars, but I will remind you and myself that 3 stars means I liked it! I liked it, I did. Really I think its a 3.5, but I don't agree with rounding up, so...
