When the majority of individuals think about Stephen King s credentials it is generally about his amazing work rate at producing memorable and top quality horror stories With that in mind in addition to The Dark Tower saga, this novel is one of Mr.King s lesser known creations that is definitely Tolkien than Tommyknockers It is an easy story to get into and I was intrigued from the first page My grandfather gave me this book when I was a wide eyed, eleven year old lover of Goosebumps books as I [...]

4.5 stars Hands down, this is my FAVORITE Stephen King book.I m not saying this is his best piece of work, but personal preferences n all this is just what I happen to enjoy the most.So Erica has a stellar review that explains why this book should be revered above all other King books And also touches another review that is total crap, written by a man who can normally be counted on to give good book recommendations.Even though he tends to ramble, and add musical lyrics to all his reviews.And do [...]

Napkins Napkins.And than enough too much nose picking and boogers.Stephen I dressed up like Jack Vance for Halloween King made a noteworthy switch from straight up horror to a better than passable high fantasy in his 1987 novel The Eyes of the Dragon.The King of American horror, though, is also a better than average writer and knows a thing or two about moving some copy and though this is a little out of character like Henry Fonda in Once Upon a Time in the West it is also entertaining and deli [...]

Book, you have the right to a speedy trial reviewTHE DEFENSE He may have switched from horror to fantasy with this one, but Stephen King s trademark gripping prose is still in full force A scene stealing villain who creates chaos and is just so much fun to watch, Flagg would fit right in at Gotham City Despite the fantasy setting, the emotions of the characters always feel real King takes some narrative risks that really pay off The segments told through the POV of a dog are particularly effecti [...]

At its time of publication, way back in 1984, The Eyes of the Dragon was a bit of a departure from Stephen King s typical horror fare I wouldn t say it was his first venture into the fantasy genre, per se, considering the iconic Gunslinger the first of the Dark Tower books was released a few years prior to this one, but I do believe it was his first attempt at a novel length fairy tale.It makes perfect sense that King would dedicate this story to his daughter, considering the cutesy feel to it a [...]

i need to preface this by saying that this was the first stephen king book i ever read he is my father s favorite author, and i grew up staring at the dozens of hardback books all in a row on the shelves of his office, all with king s name on them i really wanted to read one, see what it was dad read, and the reason he handed me this one was the same reason king wrote it so his kids could read something he had written in other words, it s kid friendly, and actually written as a children s book d [...]

I read this about ten years ago and just read the book again about two years ago Well, I m delighted to say that it still has all its magic.As an aspiring writer, I was breaking down the story, trying to figure out what made it special It s not so much the setting as there are many fairy tale legends which are similar to this one nor is it the actual idea as many good princes have been unjustly imprisoned and then tried to redeem themselves later.This tale s strength is in its narrative prose as [...]

3.40 A buddy read with my fairy tales loving friends at BBB I have never jumped on the Steven King fan band wagon, but it was never because of his writing It usually relates to the thematics and my inability to cope with thrillers and imaginative mind, which brings all his monsters to life and I just can t deal However, this book is not his usual fair It is a fairytale And I am a humongous fan of anything resembling a classic fairytale or Fantasy So, this is how several BBB members found ourselv [...]

3.5 Once, in a kingdom called Delain, there was a King with two sons Delain was a very old kingdom and it had had hundreds of Kings, perhaps even thousands when time goes on long enough, not even historians can remember everything King used a unique narrative style for this fairy tale, where he flexes his writing muscle and offers something much different than his usual fare Fans of the Dark Tower series will see some name similarities and tributes here like King Roland much different personalit [...]

Well, that was different.Well written of course It wasn t bad at all.Just not what I was expecting or really wanted see King s reaction to that view below if we all would have loved this one we would have missed out miserably Perhaps I would have rated it higher if I knew what was coming.or what age group this is really written for Or if I was extremely ill in bed slurping down chicken soup and my mom came in to read it to me and blush at the mention of the King s iron Hmmmm Andere is some to le [...]

To me it s pretty interesting that my favorite Stephen King book is not horror at all, but rather, fantasy It makes sense, really I don t enjoy reading about people being tormented and murdered I like to read about people overcoming their fears and the villains they encounter in life So it was nice to read a story by King in a setting I love, fairy tale land This is a fairy tale, with all the usual trappings, and he does a great job with it I think this story really shows what a good writer and [...]

The Eyes of the Dragon is in my book a kid s fantasy tale and one with a merrily joyous feel good factor, it was all just too nice and goodly good for me If my only way of escape was to fashion a rope out of strands of napkin, worked on a toy and it was going to take over a year, then I d have thrown myself out of the tower on day 3, fuck it as they say and goodbye happy ending Flagg is the man in black, the evil magician who s been around for ever, changing faces and involving himself in the ru [...]

This is one of Stephen King s fantasy offerings and it is quite delightful I do not always enjoy adult fairy stories, but this one catches you up into the action and there is nowhere to go except to read and enjoy the whole book The way the story is told is quite original The chapters are all different lengths, sometimes just one paragraph, sometimes a normal length Quite often the author lets the reader know what is going to happen and then goes back to fill in on how it came about that way The [...]

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Delain far away Seriously, why didn t this book started that way I can hear someone in the background barfing at the cheesiness of it but this chick right herelives for that kind of beginning in fairytales ESPECIALLY in a Stephen King s book.The Eyes of The Dragon is all things fantasy Something I have never read from The King of Horror It s always a big fun to read an author stepping out of his usual comfort zone And King nailed it This book may be purely set [...]

This seems to be one of those books that people either love or hate how strange to find myself right in the middle I ve never been one of King s Constant Readers and have only read a few of his books over the last number of years This one is written very much in the form of a fairy tale and is dedicated to his daughter, who may have heard the first versions of it as bedtime material I was disappointed that the dragon of the title was only a mounted head on the wall live dragons are much enterta [...]

Probably King s most atypical novel A fairytale style story about two brothers disputing over the throne in a vague Kingdom where the power is manipulated byt the evil wizard Flagg Not much reminds us that we are reading a book by Stephen King here There s Flagg, who is the most memorable part of this book, and then there are of course those boogers It is told by a narrator from our time which at times feels a bit askew The story has some nuance and atmosphere Some parts hold together well, othe [...]

I really missed out reading this book when I was 14 King packed this baby with all of the tropes YA fiction should contain and made a fun, page turning novel even if we know how everything is going to turn out The snarky narrator is an extra bonus.And how cool is it that he wrote this book for his daughter He even gave a character in the book her name Did he win Father of the Year when this was first published

I think that real friendship always makes us feel such sweet gratitude, because the world almost always seems like a very hard desert, and the flowers that grow there seem to grow there against such high odds A beautiful YA fantasy novel focusing on the tale of King Roland of Delain and his two sons, Peter and Thomas, with the story being told by an unknown narrator King Roland is killed by an unusual poison, with his son Peter being accused of murder and imprisoned at the top of a high tower, f [...]

Interesting and slightly odd mixture of Stephen Kings story telling and a slightly classic mythological tale than we re used to from the modern prince of horror.This is described by some as Stephen King doing children s literature Well, I wouldn t really call it that I m aware that Mr King dedicated this to his daughterbut I would suggest that you read it yourself first before giving it to a child, at least a child younger than say, 12 Just my opinion It s how I d handle it.The story is a fair [...]

This is still one of my favourite King books a whimsical fairy tale set in a magical landscape a Dark Tower for younger readers if you will I couldn t quite give it five stars this time around, since it s not as epic or grand as something like The Talisman, but my sheer enjoyment of the story has not diminished with the years King weaves a truly engaging spell with this one, which prominently features the uber villainous Flagg who has shown up in many King novels, sometimes under other names, bu [...]
