Dreamcatcher
28 December 2007
My last book of 2007 is Dreamcatcher by Stephen King. It’s not my favorite Stephen King book, but it’s not that bad. It’s about these 4 kids who save a kid with Down’s syndrome from bullies. They consider this act to be the best thing they ever did and they remain friends for years because of it. Years later when they are on their annual hunting trip, weird stuff happens. It involves aliens, telepathy, etc. It’s an interesting story. It took a little while to get into as usual and after I got into it there were times when I was bored. I think I’m a little tired of reading Stephen King books. Something about his style gets on my nerves after a while and I’ve read several of his books over the past couple of years.
Yes, there is a movie based on this book and I plan on watching it. The movie was mentioned on a podcast that I was watching a few days ago and it was described as the worst movie ever. It has some actors in it that I like. Hopefully it won’t be too bad.
I can’t wait to get to something really good. I’ve already started a reading list for 2008.
