A review by victoriabot
Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
4.0
3.5 rounding up.
This book was strongest focusing on the relationship of the four men, playing directly into King's strengths as writing about the close bonds of childhood friendship, particularly in Derry. King's record with aliens is a mixed bag, sometimes he can write the real stuff well and sometimes he can't. Overall the story downgrades a bit once the military gets involved and the antagonist there isn't particularly original. There was a bit too much driving literally to the climax. But it was interested throughout, and the two main characters kept my interest. But the first third is clearly the best.
