Desperation (1996) - Stephen King - Book Review

Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils

Being a huge fan of Stephen King novels, I discovered a few years ago that I was starting to run out of novels that he had done that I hadn't yet read yet... Well to say the least I was not particularly thrilled by this concept and started looking all over the place for a new novel to keep me interested, and I did so when I found the novel: 'Desperation' (1996)!

Now I am going to say that I was really glad when I found this novel... I mean at the point that I had started reading this novel, I was hard pressed to find a novel that I couldn't put down, and this was definitely that, but besides that, this amazing novel, which would later be turned in to a  TV/Movie with Ron Perlman (Hellboy), was so good, that it is one one of those novels that you could very easily read late at night and I imagine that it would spook the hell out of you!

Now what makes it so great? Well the story of course!

Ron Perlman as the, 'Big Bad' in the TV/Movie: 'Desperation'!

You see, this story, which told of how a bunch of people, who while driving through a desolate area of the Nevada desert, are pulled over and taken to the small mining town of, 'Desperation'... Now at first they are taken there for many legitimate reasons by a Deputy...  But once they are there, they discover there is more then meets the eye in this small town, and that the Sheriff's deputy is the one behind it!

This book may not be the best of Mr. King's, but it is certainly darn close to it... Check it out, you might like it!
