lorbo 's review for:
The Bazaar of Bad Dreams: Stories
by Stephen King
I generally really enjoy Stephen King, especially his short stories, and I did like some in this collection. But on the whole I found the writing rather lackluster; when every single character has the same speech patterns and most of the female characters are all described by the length of their legs/size of their breasts, it quickly becomes boring and honestly, offensive. I recognize that some male characters are written to see women that way, i.e. only making note of their looks rather than their personality; but in this book, I ran into this sexist style of writing far too often and quickly tired of it.
That being said--I did enjoy some stories, and I think it's at least worth a look. Some of these dark little vignettes were unsettling and moving at the same time, i.e. "Under The Weather." And "The Little Green God of Agony" was a particularly gripping read.
