Revival: A Novel

I read the paperback. I believe it was the 3rd of King's books I had ever read at the time. Now, I can't count how many. While the book may seem to have a slow start and the horror factor isn't as high as King's other stories, the storyline was still great. It gives you enough to want more and continue reading constantly tugging at your curiosity and wonder if what's next and what's the end game. Yes the ending, er well, the last quarter of the story could've offered more, it was still overall a solid 4 star read.

Pick another New York Times Best Selling horror author to read. sk uses the "n" word a plethora of times in 98% of his books. What, you just ignore this fact everytime he writes it and you read it? You're not offended? Well, like me, you should be outraged. You should burn everyone of his books that reference this word. His books should be for "RACIST RATED AUDIENCES ONLY', since it's illegal to out-and-out ban them. I'm under the impression he can't write a book w/o refering to Black People as liars, cheaters, thieves, ignorant, disgusting, etc., because that is the definition of this word. Everytime one of you buys one of his books, you're supporting a racist and helping him spread his racist ideologies. Do you then give it to your children and other minors to read? No, no, wait... Don't start making excuses for putting an elaborate lifestyle at the feet of an admitted racist pig akin to david duke. There are no excuses! And, don't find fault with my finding fault with this swine. he's probably a card carrying member of the kkk, the nazi party, the arian nation, john birch society, etc. If there's a hell below, you're all gonna go... STOP BUYING sk's LIERATURE if you're not racist, too. Put your money where your mouth is and STOP BEING A HYPOCRITE. If you are a racist, you're not gonna change, so I'm not wasting my breath on you 'cause I'm gonna need it to die with... It's the rest of you that need to wake-up. Indeed, I hope you do! Never, never buy works by people like this, NEVER!

I've read many of Stephen King's books, my favorite being Lisey's Story. Revival reminded me in style of that thoughtful read. The main characters in Revival are easy to become attached to and believe in. Is I journey through this read and approach the end for just a little while I was disappointed. It seemed a little anti-climatic and I wandered away for a couple days. Thank goodness I went back because the ending smacked me right alongside the head. Give yourself a treat and breed Revival you won't regret
