Desperation
By Stephen King
-pgs: 690
It was nice to read a tale of horror, violence, death and redemption. I found the tale to be very suspenseful (can you really expect less from Stephen King). Although it is a long book, it is an easy read and the story pulls you through the pages. I felt King did a good job of leaving a mystery throughout the story so you kept reading it hoping to find an answer to what was going on. Even if one mystery was solved, more questions or mysteries would come out of the solved mystery and that kept you reading. King did a wonderful job developing characters and explaining their pasts as well as maintaining the story in the present. The supernatural part of the story was well thought out and very unique. Overall, I felt it was a well written tale and would be an enjoyable read to anyone who likes horror stories.
