A review by hakimbriki
Everything's Eventual by Stephen King
3.0
This collection contains a few gems. However, it is uneven, thus far from being as good as Skeleton Crew or Night Shift. I only read 13 stories as I am waiting to go through the Dark Tower series to read The Little Sisters of Eluria. So here are my thoughts and ratings of each short story.
Autopsy Room Four - ** - Now I read some glowing reviews about this one but it completely fell flat for me. I was bored all along and thought the "twist" was a little lame.
The Man in the Black Suit - *** - Very creepy and entertaining but the ending ruined it. I was expecting something different.
All that you Love will be Carried Away - *** - I liked this one. It is very compelling and original.
The Death of Jack Hamilton - **** - Great story. It somehow reminded me of The Green Mile. I love it when King gives his take on (not so) real events.
In the deathroom - *** - This gruesome and clostrophobic story was enjoyable, not one of my favorites though.
Everything's Eventual - ***** - Definitely my favorite story of the whole bunch. I understand there's a connection with the DT series and that makes it even more interesting. Everything about it was excellent. I don't want to give away anything but if you're a King fan and you have not read that yet, you're in for a treat.
L.T.'s Theory of Pets - ** - Mehhh. I had a hard time finishing that one. I gave it two stars because it made me laugh a couple times.
The Road Virus Heads North - *** - I am not a fan of the whole "changing picture" routine but I have to admit this one gave me the creeps.
Lunch at the Gotham Café - ***** - Weiiiiiiiiird. I loved it. The begining was quite plodding but as soon as the Maitre D' loses it, it becomes amazing. EEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
That Feeling, You Can Only Say What It Is in French - **** - I hate it when it happens to me.
1408 - **** - I read this one late at night. Very bad idea.
Riding the Bullet - *** - This one made me think a lot.
Luckey Quarter - * - I didn't get the point.
