cayenne503 's review for:

Revival by Stephen King

4.0

---

I would really say 3.5 stars if I could but since I must choose a whole number I will err on the side of positivity. I was very excited when I heard about this book because I am a huge fan of both Stephen King and HP Lovecraft, and somehow got it into my head that King doing a Lovecraftian story meant a Cthulhu-y story. That is not the case. What is true is that he does a very good job of telling a VERY weird story. The last 50-75 pages, when it does finally get Cthulhu-y, almost feel like a different book, but not necessarily in a bad way. Overall, at the end I feel slightly disturbed rather than terrified, as some of King's older stories have left me.
