    Default Fairy Tale *spoilers*

    What did people think of this?

    To be honest I had a bit of a hard time getting through it. It took around a month for me to finish and I was able to get through IT in less than a week the first time I read it.

    I think I was more interested in Charlie's relationship with Mr. Bowditch and Radar than any of the 'fairy tale' stuff. Once the focus went from that to saving the fantasy realm from evil it just felt kind of by the numbers. As far as recent books go I think 'The Institute' and even 'Billy Summers' were better.

    To be clear this wasn't a bad book by any means but it's just not something I would rank highly against King's other books...

    The first part of it was great. The “fairy tale” part was fine enough but it felt very much like a Way of Kings. You kinda knew where it was going too. That being said I still enjoyed it and I like the premise. This seems to be either a love or hate type book though as far as reviews. I know some who just loved it to death. Also others who thought it was trash. I thought it was good. Not as good of a fantasy as The Talisman which is a classic but still solid. It would be better than Eyes of the Dragon, except for the fact that Flagg is in eyes.

    I'm impartial to this book but it pales in comparison with Imajica and Weaveworld. I miss King at his supernatural best.

    Bottom 3 King. Not much else to say. I finished it because it's King. I forced myself to power through because of mindless loyalty.

    I could easily see this being an ABC 2-part made-for-tv movie.

    that i agree with i can see this as a Tv Miniseries if it gets the right budget it could work if everything fell into place i mean, cast, script, director etc...
