King’s 66th book (published 11/11/2014). “That is not dead which can eternal lie. And with strange aeons even death may die.” (H.P. Lovecraft) I’ve never been a Stephen King die-hard fan. There were a few of his novels that I elevated to Nirvana status (eg, “The Stand” being one of them). Wh...

Although I've taken a little break from reading lots of Stephen King in order to focus on discovering other authors, he remains one of my very favorite writers. So when I read the synopsis for his latest novel Revival, I wanted to give it a shot. The book narrates the decades-long connection between...

Revival by Stephen King is a terrifying portrayal of man’s ultimate need to believe in something, anything but nothing. Faith should be a two-way street, but it sure as hell is not. Faith should comfort the wounded heart and soul, but what it does is fester in a dark place where idle hands and minds...

This was an interesting one by King. Certainly not scary, but rather an unsettling tale. We all question what is beyond death, and Revival gives you an uber creepy option that has nothing to do with heaven or hell. Again, unsettling. An extremely well written story, intertwining several lives, heart...

I had sworn off King books a few years ago as they all began to sound alike. I was given a copy of Mr. Mercedes as a gift and I thought there was new life in his works, so when Revival came out, I rushed out and purchased a copy. Big mistake. All this book is a mess of rambling characters who a...
