Four Past Midnight
by Stephen King
I would of given this book 2 and a half stars. This book!! I just... I don't think I've had so much to say about a book.
It started great, loved the first novella. Except the beginning was a little long and took me a bit to get into it but once I got past the first chapter or so, I began to enjoy it. I Enjoyed the second novella but not as much as the first, I feel this was because I had seen the film and was anticipating the end a bit too much. But I did feel it drag in the middle.
After the second novella, the book just went down hill for me. The third novella was the worst. It just completely bored me and it failed to grasp my attention, however I am stubborn so I ended up skimming through to the end. I just couldn't connect with the characters, I found them a bit annoying and it just dragged.
The fourth novella was better than the third but I wouldn't say I enjoyed it. I enjoyed parts, I felt like I was on a bit of a roller coaster with this novella, one minuet it was enjoyable, the next it was so boring I had to skim. I think I managed to put up with the fourth novella because I actually liked the father and son in the book but I absolutely couldn't get on with Pop. He was went on and on and dragged the story out for me. I hated that we ended up following pop for a lot of this story :(
I'm so glad to be finished with this book and I've never felt that much relief from finishing a book before. I had to stop and start due to tests and stuff. Which probably didn't help, as I was unable to stay interested in it and the stopping as starting didn't help that.
Would I recommend this book? Simple. no
