John Smith's life was going good. He loved his job teaching, he was good at it, and the kids really liked having him for a teacher. He was in love with his girlfriend, Sara, a fellow teacher. They were going to the county fair and Sarah asked him to spend the night. He had a very strange run of luck guessing what numbers would come up on the wheel at the fair, in fact Sara was frightened by the way he looked as he won round after round. She started to get sick, maybe from a bad hot dog, so2.5 Stars: Not bad, not great, but still entertaining.Tears streamed down her face, sliding over the smooth hard surface of the nightpack like rain on chrome. (Blade Runner, anyone?)This audiobook is excellent, and I would definitely recommend it to someone who is a fan of James Franco (he reads it with such vervre! much accent!) and who also enjoyed the John Travolta movie "Phenomenon."However, it is my least favorite Stephen King book to date.

Next up on my Stephen King quest is The Dead Zone, again its not a review as such but a collection of my thoughts on the book.

This was SO GREAT! Loved it, couldn't put it down. Easily one of my King favorites, and I suspect it will remain there no matter how many of his books I read. What a story!
Some time last year I decided that it would be a fun idea to reread a lot of the Stephen King canon, starting with his first novel, Carrie and then keeping to a more or less chronological schedule, adding in stuff like The Dead Zone and Firestarter that I had skipped back in the day for whatever unknown reason. I got as far as The Shining when I realized that I needed to get off track and knuckle down on Doctor Sleep, Kings 2013 sequel to the original and find out what happened to the remains of
Amazing really enjoyed 💕'
Fantastic book. Sixth sense. Teacher in an accident. Visions of the future. Great film too starring Christopher Walken.🐯👍Loved the scene in the film when Christopher Walken is talking to Herbert Lom, his doctor.He asks him, being that he is a Jew, if he could go back in time and get close to Adolf Hitler...Would he kill him?Herbert Lom replies that he is a doctor and his job is to save lives...And finished by saying he would kill the son of a bitch! Classic Stephen King! Imagine if you could go
