King at his best,
This review is from: Storm of the Century (Hardcover)
I absolutely loved the mini series, so much that I bought the DVD and watch it again, every now and then. The book, written as a screenplay, is almost better, if for no other reason than King's side comments. He is brutally honest with a dry, biting wit and a morbid sense of humor. Here he uses his unique world view to tell the story of the New England coastal island of Little Tall, the same setting for another of his stories. The island is cut off from the mainland by a blizzard, just as a stranger comes to visit with a terrible request...
Like all of King's best stories, the supernatural is not the true focus, human nature is. The islanders are forced into a heart-breaking choice that just may cost them their souls, and it is the process of making this decision and it's cost that is the true story. King is a master at writing true-to-life people in terrible, terrifying circumstance, and he doesn't fail here. It's not just a good-vs-evil story, but a tale of what lengths people will go to in order to save what they hold dear, what they do when all choices come with a price too high to pay. In my opinion, this is one of King's best works.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Great Stephen King Read,

This review is from: Storm of the Century (Hardcover)
Reading a book in screen play form was a first for me, but nonetheless, I really enjoyed it. It's a classic King tale of an evil being coming to an isolated island town off the coast of Maine during a winter storm.

Another very good book by Mr. King. Took a little while to get used to the screenplay format.
