A really good story, it made me cry especially at the beginning and a little bit in the middle but it was amazing! Loved how we started at 1960s and finished in 2015?? Probably 17 the description of building, roads, and cars was facinating to read about. Also let's not forget famous people names/songs. I have to say I liked Jacob. He is definitely my favorite character. And this story is not really that scary or scary for that matter. It was more like... Sad/Drama?/heartfelt. But scary no.
Slow to startI felt it got off to a slow start, but still a good read. As a Stephen King fan I did enjoy this book, but was hoping for something a little different. All-in-all still a good read.
A slow burn of a book, filled with subtle horrors, Revival is one of my favorite King books in some time. By the time EVERYTHING starts to comes together to form one of King's more twisted conclusions, I couldn't put the book down. I can't say that the entire book held me in such rapt attention, like Salem's Lot or The Shining did, but for King to write a book with this level of depth, power, and horror, this late in his career, says all we need to know about his talent and place among some of the finest horror writers there has ever been.
