Nightmares and Dreamscapes

Book Review by: kw50197     

Original Author: Stephen King
Ho-hum on the most part. There is nothing much to be talked about here in the first half of the book.
The memorable
ones are like Suffer the Little Children which was absolutely creepy with the idea of the children of the world being slowly taken over by alien or supernatural beings. Similar to this is the The Ten O'Clock People. The difference lies only in the feelings given by the story. Where Suffer the Little Children was creepy, The Ten O'Clock People has a more heroic tone to it. The House on Maple Street was thoroughly enjoyable as well. The children who are the main protagonists in this story were either likable or grow to be so at the end of the tale. Another tale to note is The Doctor's Case for its twist on the classic Sherlock Holmes mystery. Here, Doctor Watson solves the crime instead of Sherlock Holmes.
Then, there are stories like My Pretty Pony in which I can't figure out what the author was trying to convey. Why is real time My Pretty Pony time ? Beats me. Only read this book if you've nothing better to do.
