Reviews for "The Origins of 'The Talisman': How Stephen King and Peter Straub Came to Collaborate"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "The Talisman" by Stephen King, but I ended up being quite disappointed. The story was convoluted and dragged on for too long. The characters felt underdeveloped, and I couldn't connect with any of them. The fantasy elements didn't feel original and lacked creativity. Overall, I found the book to be tedious and a chore to get through.
2. Emily - 1 star - I was expecting a thrilling and captivating read from Stephen King, but "The Talisman" fell flat for me. The plot was confusing and disjointed, making it hard to follow along. The pacing was incredibly slow, with very little action or suspense to keep me engaged. Additionally, the writing felt clunky and repetitive, making it difficult to immerse myself in the story. This was a major disappointment and not up to the usual standard I expect from Stephen King.
3. Mark - 2 stars - I'm a fan of Stephen King's horror novels, but "The Talisman" just didn't hit the mark for me. The concept seemed promising, but the execution fell short. The book was unnecessarily long, filled with excessive descriptions and unnecessary details. The protagonist felt bland and lacked depth, making it hard for me to care about his journey. The story also seemed to lack focus, jumping between different subplots without fully exploring any of them. Overall, I found "The Talisman" to be a disappointing read that didn't live up to the hype.
