The Dead Zone

Overall, the writing isn’t bad, but the book itself is a confusing mess. It seemed to have a lot of mood shifts with multiple plots all shoved into one idea. There are parts of this book I liked but they are almost better as separate stories. The is another book by King (11/22/63) that has a slightly similar idea of preventing a disaster but was done much better.

This book cold really be cut down to more then half of its size. The beginning is interesting but at the same time it’s too drawn out. Then you have to suffer though the middle of the book that doesn’t add enough conflict of the main charters burden or duty to see these things to make it interesting. The end of the book is good and has a quick pace.

If it were shorter this could have been a better book.
