Dreamcatcher by Stephen King
adventurous
funny
medium-paced
3.25
Definitely at the bottom of King’s canon.
This book has the best and the worst of King. The characterization, what makes King, King, is as crisp and fascinating as always. The relationship between the four friends with themselves and with Duddits, the insanity of Kurtz, the inner turmoil of Underhill, the development of Mr. Gray, all superbly entertaining to read.
But the story really gets away from him in the end. I feel like it went on about a hundred more pages than it needed to.
Overall, not a bad book at all, just low on the list for me when considering the entire King library.
