The Dead Zone by Stephen King

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


This book was really sad. It talks about a woman whose had bad relationships and suddenly meets this guy who seems to be very nice and considerate but fearing the worst she doesn’t get to close after all they are both teachers at a high school. He on the other hand was really nice he had a father who was down o earth but hi health wasn’t all there. His mother on the other hand he was crazy religious and cursed any one who didn’t worship god the way she did. But his father could usually hold her down. All went haywire when the man gets into a car accident. He should have died everyone else did, the angry taxi driver and the two drunken students of him riding on the other side of the road. The main character was in a comma for 5 years his whole world hanged around him. His mother was practically inane but didn’t want to take her pills hi father is depressed and his health wasn’t much better. Hi girl friend was married and had a little girl. If this wasn’t crazy enough he now possess a strange ability to read minds and see things. For example when he awoke from the comma he asked his doctor how long he was asleep the doctor ignored him and continued writing over him until the main contactor grabs him by the arm and instantly knows he has been gone for 5 years. This book isn’t for the light of heart it’s more like a surprise at every turn of the page. So I advise caution when reading!
