Dreamcatcher
Mar. 25th, 2003 03:37 pmI read Stephen King's Dreamcatcher over the weekend.
The B.J. Snark Twenty-Second Review:
The book's protagonists are a quartet of middle-aged men, bemoaning that life has passed them by. They spend a lot of time in flashback sequences about an Important Life-Changing Event that happened to them when they were ninth graders in the fall of 1978.
Wait a minute. I was a ninth grader in the Fall of 1978.
There's a milestone. I am now old enough to be an Angsty Over-The-Hill Stephen King Protagonist. Thanks, Steve. Just the thought I need to comfort me as I struggle to finish up my Bachelor's Degree.
( Minor And Unimportant Spoilers )
The B.J. Snark Twenty-Second Review:
- Stephen King at his most self-indulgent -- full of "Kingisms".
- Written while recovering from getting hit by a truck. The first third to half really shows the painkillers.
- Plot summary: It meets The Tommyknockers.
