Stephen King bibliography: Insomnia

You can read my review of the book here.
















Pros


- Great characters that you can easily relate to

- I really enjoyed the metaphysical and cosmic aspects of the story.  It adds a jaw dropping sense of scope to things.

- Seeing the characters essentially develop superpowers made the comic book geek in me rather happy.

- Not only does the book act as a follow up to "It" but it also ties into the "Dark Tower" franchise.  It gives ardent King fans plenty of material to work with.



Cons


- Political commentary kills the pacing of the book, doesn't add anything, and can get rather irritating.




Overall


There's quite a bit to like about the book, but alas it does have problems.  I would suggest getting the audiobook as it is oddly a smoother fit for that medium, but it is certainly worth picking up.
