I love Stephen King, but I can't lie and pretend to be a die-hard fan. There are still many, many novels of his I haven't read yet, although I'm changing that a little day by day. But I'd be damned surprised if he'd written a novel as utterly depressing, chilling, and frightening as Revival. This on...
It's been a while since King has written a book this good from start to finish.The story follows Jamie Morton, whom we meet as a young boy and he finds his life interconnected with a young pastor named Charles Jacobs with a fascination for the power of electricity. After tragedy strikes the young Ja...
Title: Revival Author: Stephen King Genre: Horror (or so they say) Publisher: Scribner Publication Date: November 11, 2014 Format: 1st Edition Hardcover purchased from Rainy Day Books Synopsis My rating: 4 of 5 stars My review (published at Read, Run, Ramble): From the book’s description: “...
I have 9 Stephen King books under my belt now, but I still generally consider myself a newbie. What I can say is that I think I've read a pretty decent mix of old books and his newer books.

The core of the story is interesting and alive with possibilities, but the payoff felt a little cliched an...
It's not Stephen King at his strongest. The final scene is scary as all get out, but the build isn't worth it. If I thought Mr. Mercedes was chock full of dirty old man, this is even worse. I guess King has earned it. He was a little too proud of his "key of E" line. Also felt too much of an influen...
I'm honestly flummoxed on how to rate this book. I've never read a Stephen King book before, but my 21 yr. old son loves his work, so I thought I'd give one a try then pass the hardcover on to him. I've read numerous reviews that said Revival was King's "return to form" and that this book gave them ...
For a while I actually thought that this would be the first book I would give 5 stars to in ages. But in the end it just got 4 stars. Why? Because of the ending. I just didn't like it very much.
