Query: Is this a joke?

You know - I generally work hard for my money. So you can imagine how I felt after shelling out on this latest King book, and discovering that it was a huge con trick. This book appears to have been written by someone who has not worked hard to deliver a special piece of work to us. It is really boring and the whole thing is more like reading a shopping list.I'm going to be bold and say that it's time some of these so called "big Names' stopped trading on past glory and produced something original. Along with this book I purchased a relatively unknown book called 'The Seed' by an English writer called Davide De Angelis. Now this is all about something new and dangerous - check work like this out and see if writers like King can keep up. Time to move over. Sorry as I have enjoyed so much of King's work, but there is no excuse for a book like this AND it being a best seller. It's all hype. ZERO STARS!
