Has anyone read "dreamcatcher"

[Truman]

I liked it but most people who are constant reader say that this is not a very good book.

I know a lot of people seem to not care for this book, but I really enjoyed it. There were some parts I found hilarious!! I was so excited when the movie came out, too. I was somewhat disappointed (of course). It wasn't terrible until the end. I much prefer the ending to the book.

I put Dreamcatcher in the same boat with Lisey's Story: there is too much about each those that I dislike for me to say that I like the book. I don't; they just don't work for me.

That said, in both cases, there are terrific sections. In the case of Dreamcatcher, I think everything through the first appearance of Mr. Grey is pretty awesome.

I've also only read the book once, and sometimes my first impressions change when I give a book a second go. That happened recently with both The Tommyknockers and The Dark Half, which I'd disliked when I first read them but enjoyed a lot when I read them again many years later.

Who knows ... maybe the same will happen when I get around to rereading Dreamcatcher and Lisey's Story, too.

Dreamcatcher is a good book the first time one reads it, it is a good story, quick and enjoyable, funny in places, very sad in others, you meet interesting people doing strange things. It is in the second and third, fourth, fifth etc times one reads it if they want, that the story becomes more than a surface read, the story flow, the words, the thoughts are so much more than just a story about an alien and sh*tweasels. Dreamcatcher is one my my top favorite SKing novels.

The book was excellent!Finished it yesterday and then i saw the movie.The movie spoiled though....anyways!
Fantastic story,plot and the characters very well made. I loved everything about Duds,ive been touched by the way King was writing about Duddits.I love the fact he was their connection their dreamcatcher.Everything in the book was neat.

It's a great read and a real page turner once you get involved with the characters. Also, its a novel Mr. King wrote longhand
after having recuperated form his ... accident. Certainly worth your time.

I put it on the second tier of SK novels, just beneath The Stand, It, and The Talisman.

I enjoyed Dreamcatcher(the novel) thoroughly. The movie was good, but the end was rushed and confusing. It seems when one thinks about Dreamcatcher the movie comes right to mind.
