A review by doobyna
Dreamcatcher by Stephen King

4.0

This one took me a real long time. Almost as if I had been fighting it. I made it through the first 300 or so pages in just under two weeks, and then I got stuck, I put it down and started reading something else. Even when I decided to come back to it, started carrying it around, I couldn't push myself through more than 10 pages at a time. Finally, the finals came around, and well. That's the time to catch up on reading that's completely unrelated to any of my subjects, right? During finals and after them I managed another 300 pages, frequently switching to other books for a breath of fresh air. Then I put it aside again, with some 90 pages left, because I couldn't take it with me on vacation. These 90 pages took me five days to read.
The book is good. It's got something like a mind of its own - it hangs above you, you almost forget about it. Suddenly, it draws your attention again and you just can't keep your eyes off the page. You have to talk about it, tell everyone you know that it's by King, and ohmygod it's got aliens in it! But all along, you know it's something more than blueboys and shit-weasles. All along, you fight for the last line.
