Stephen King: The Dark Half

Hi everyone

I felt like it was time to read another Stephen King book and he has a lot of books to choose from.
This time I read The Dark Half. 

"The sparrows are flying again. The idea haunts the edge of Thad Beaumont's mind. He should be happy; for years it is his secret persona 'George Stark', author of super-violent pulp thrillers, who has paid the family bills. But now he is writing seriously again under his own name, and his pseudonym is buried forever."

The Dark Half wasn't as good as I had hoped and expected.
It's way too long drawn out and thus it gets really boring. There are some great action scenes, chilling and frightening sequences but the parts in between drag the plot down, both in pace and in tension.
The ending is very underwhelming, I really expected more out of this book.
I did enjoy the writing, the horror aspects of the story, the cruel and vile George Stark parts were absolutely shocking and great and I liked the plot itself.
It was just way too slow.

That's the way it is for me with King's books. Some I love, some I find mediocre and some I can even DNF.

Happy reading.
