Book Reviews of Insomnia
Book Review: Tough to pigeon-hole
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt compelled to review this book. This is one of my favorite stories of all time, from any author. I don't really understand reviewers who are disappointed because this isn't "typical King." What would typical King be? Those of us who have been lifelong readers of Stephen King understand that there is no typical Stephen King story. He has given us such diverse gems as The Eyes of the Dragon, Christine, The Green Mile, and The Langoliers. For me this book was no harder to get into than The Dark Tower or The Talisman. I know one thing from reading his stories - it is ALWAYS worth the effort. Insomnia is no exception. In my opinion, this is his most imaginative tale of all. The character development is incredibly deep and true, and the way all loose threads are tied up in the end is absolutely amazing. I think those expecting "typical King" have watched one too many screen adaptations of his early work. Just take the ride - you won't be disappointed!
Summary of Insomnia
Ralph Roberts has an incurable case of insomnia, but lack of sleep is the least of his worries. Each night he stays awake, Ralph witnesses more of the odd activity taking place in Derry after dark than he wants to know. The nice young chemist up the street beats his wife and has delusions about beings he calls "The Centurions." A madman with a knife is trying to kill him, he's sure. And on the night May Locher died, one of the two bald men coming out of her house had a pair of scissors in his hand. What does it all mean? Ralph doesn't quite know. But the bizarre visions he's been having keep getting more intense, the strange deaths in Derry have just begun, and Ralph knows he isn't hallucinating.Returning to the town of Derry, Maine, the setting of one of his most critically acclaimed novels, It, Stephen King combines bone-chilling realism with supernatural terror to create yet another masterpiece of suspense.
