read: Billy summers

Another non scary book by Stephen King
Enjoyable read albeit somewhat improbable character and plot
Not too sure where the ending was going with a new character introduced, but I guess it showed the humane side of Billy as he introduced more and more errors into his operation. 
Always great build up of a foreboding sense similar to his scary stories
Wonder what the significance of the portrait in the summer house was, it felt like it was going to amount to more but it remained simply a portrait.

read: fairy tale

By Stephen King 
So not your typical fairy tale but surprisingly loyal to those components: the hero, the beautiful princess, the evil, castles and strange creatures.

But cos it's Stephen King u get the huge bats and roaches, the foreboding gloom of a haunted house and maimed people. 

All in all a pleasant read. It seemed strange that half the book was dedicated to the set up (finding of the fairy tale land) and the hero was slightly unreal (although he did add that he was not perfect at parts). But it's a fairytale so you can ignore logical flaws.
