The Talisman by Peter Straub, Stephen King
4.0

Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

This was an epic tale of a teenage boy’s quest to save his dying mother. I enjoyed the main character, Jack Sawyer’s, journey through a parallel universe and the characters he met along the way. Much like most Stephen King novels it was long and I do think it could have been shorter. It was a great read for those who love fantasy and horror.
