The Dead Zone

[Greg]

Hey everyone. I am right in the middle of The Dead Zone and I must say it is a lot better than I expected it would be. It really hits home to me and I feel for Johnny when the love of his life goes on to marry and have a child. I'm divorced from my exwife but still love her and she is pregnant with another man's child, so I can totally relate to Johnny. I find it that Johnny can actually help me walk through my pain with his circumstances. Lisey's Story does the same effect for me as well.

I think this quality you are talking about is one of many reasons I have continued to read and reread SK for so many years. I don't think I would have made it through middle and highschool without my copy of IT. I could be a member of the losers club for sure!!!

Hi! I think it's wonderful that you can find some peace through one of SK's works. Good for you. Enjoy the rest of DZ!

Greetings and Salutations,
Welcome to the board! Dead Zone is a great story! Johnny reminds me of a Greek tragic hero...

I just started The Dead Zone too and it's better than I thought it would be. I'm still trying to figure out how the Dohay, the lightning rod salesman fits in. I could kind of figure out how Greg Stilson and Sonny Eliman will fit into the story but the scene with Dohay at the bar threw me for a loop.

Yes i agree it is a sad story, but in the end it all works out. (maybe not for the best)

You'll find out soon enough.

Everything fits in by the end. Glad you are enjoying the book.

I loved the Dead Zone. I've read many of Stephen Kings work, and its STILL my favorite story.

All I'm going to say is keep reading and it will make sense eventually.
