I found the book readable, but not believable. I think King is a great writer and has oodles of imagination and talent, but I like a book, even fantasy fiction, to have an element of credibility. I was tired of the flocks of sparrows long before the ending, and because I found it a bit tiresome and improbable, I didnot find it chilling at all.

when i read the book Dark Half i thought it the most wonderful work of art I've ever come across, and immediately i made up my mind to become a writer and i would be so honored to meet Stephen King in person because i see him as a literary legend. Florence, Nigeria.

Beyond great! It was very different from the movie, I must say, but that wasn't really something I didn't see coming. I felt guilty on occasions while reading this novel because I actually liked Stark. He straddled the border that separated the outrageously evil from the pure, 100% evil, but it was all too easy to respect the guy, all too easy to know exactly how Thad felt about a part of him liking his dark half. I suppose that's what makes King such a great writer.

This was the first book I had read in about grade seven or so by Stephen King, and I absolutely adored it. To this day it is my favourite, and George Stark is forever a sexy beast in my eyes.

Great story! I was surprised that I had not read this book. It was wonderful!
