Fairy Tale
by Stephen King
It was all a bit too easy and felt a bit removed. It didn't have the grit or a dark ending that the Grimm fairy tales it was trying to emulate have. The story is about a 17-year-old, but written years in the future as a grown man. So it had this removed vagueness throughout. With a lot of the loose strings in the story written off as: "This story is hard to believe, but it's true."
There was a general cloud of badness over the city, but the actual villains were weak and there was little to no time spent developing their evilness. Water buckets!? Too easy.
SPOILER:
What an Americanized fairy tale to kill off the main villains with a gun. Too easy. 600 pages just to kill off the fairy tale villain with a gun?!
Lots unexplained. Blanket of vagueness. Satisfying ending missed.
