Mr. King is so good at
writing these kinds of small town thrillers such as Needful Things and
Tommyknockers where a town suffers a mysterious event. Here the
town, Chester’s Mill, is suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by a
transparent force field. It’s like the Simpsons Movie but with an insane
killing teenager whose father is the town’s dictator. The
hero, Dale Barbara, is the dinner’s cook who was on his way out of town before
getting trapped. Ex-military and all-round good guy, will Dale be able to
unite a town and save it? What is causing the force field and
can it be penetrated? What a good yarn with the kind of characters
you just have to keep reading. The villains in particular are so fun to
read. It’s just the kind of book to read on a lazy
afternoon. Grade: B+
