smortnerd 's review for:

Four Past Midnight by Stephen King
3.0

I've generally come to really like Stephen King, but man, the guy can go on forever. "Secret Window, Secret Garden" was my least favorite one to read, which was a disappointment because it was the one I wanted to read in the first place (hello Secret Window movie). It just felt like it was going on forever, and the action takes place almost exclusively in the last 15 pages or so. "The Langoliers" was my favorite story in the collection, which surprised me. The premise was the scariest, the characters were the most interesting and fleshed out, and there was a sense of bitter, King-sian justice. "The Library Policeman" and "The Sun Dog" were also good, but that scene in the "The Library Policeman..." I don't know if if was /necessary./
Anyway, moral of the review, read "The Langoliers" if you read nothing else in this collection.
