I truly believe the The Dead Zone is/ was a maJor point in his career, its a social political study in human society but its also an apocalyptic novel about the meaning of truth itself. The true horror comes from the raw reality within this fiction, a sincere fear to what might come next if we dont open our eyes. This book can be truly consider as a new sci-fi classic, being such a strong political allegory of a near-could be-future like Dicks The Man in the High Castle and making ourselves important moral questions like Mathesons I Am Legend... Could a murderer (heroe) be right ? Could the destiny of the world be in the hands of a disturbed and psychotic politician? On the other hand, it talks to us about fate, and most important our own personal sacrifice to make this world a better place. A great novel and a personal favourite...same old johnny....

Very well written, with one of the most memorable characters that I have come across. An overall entertaining experience. A good read.

In my opinion... The Dead Zone may be King's finest work. I finished practically in a matter of two days because I was so enthralled that I couldn't put the book down. It takes true talent for a writer to be able to bring so much character and realism to a fictional character. Johnny is so well crafted and put together... A true tragedy, and a true classic in literature. Not just in the collection of King but of all classes of American Literature.

One of the most amazing stories i have read! It was the first book i read of king and is my all time favorite of his work

This book was so well written. In fact, you forget you are reading about a character and not a real person. "The Dead Zone" has always been one of my favorites along with "Misery", "Bag of Bones" , "Pet Sematary", "The Shining", "Salem's Lot", and "The Dark Half". I don't think it's a mistake that most of these books either are about writers or writing. I think Johnny Smith is a protagonist that we feel so much sympathy for from the very start and like Pet Sematary it is a true tragedy. I heard King once say that this book and "Salem's Lot" were two of his favorites.

I think stephen king is a wonderful writer, a one that always scares the HELL out of me by his thoughts introduced in his books and movies. This book was good and the series of it was so wonderfully created. Thank you Mr. King. You're a KING !!

I am yet to read the book but the movie really sets ablaze the creativitity of King.. fascinating to the very last chapter..good work from a genius.

This was the book that brought me back to King. I had tried Misery and hated it. Years later, on an afternoon that refused to be rushed, I picked Dead Zone from a cousin's library full of unrecognisable names. What can I say? Hook, line and sinker. And it isn't even one of his best in my opinion. Just something about the time and place and being chosen by a particular book.

I didn't like it all. It didn't captive my attention. I don't know why. I thought the beginning so boring and I just stopped reading this one but I'll try to read it again.

I really enjoyed the beginning of this book but hated the ending. I dont think this was one of his best.

This was my first book I read of Stephen King's and it kept me hooked on his books. Now I read his books all the time.

I read the book...and wow.........I absolutely positively loved it!!!!!!!!

Although I'm still in the middle of reading this book, I'm amazed at the posability of Johnny Smith, and how an ability shuch as his, gives a whole new meaning to the saying "walking in someone elses footsteps." This book is most likely to be my new S.K. favorite. I feel almost unworthy of such a talent as Mr. King. Let it be written...

Used to be my second-favorite King work, now pushed down to third by "Duma Key". This is a must - read on anyone's list.

My first King's novel, It's a smart, detailed, profound novel. As always the characters appear to be close to you because they are so real, he is critical and surprises the reader, never lets you down and you can't put it down till' you finish it, then you can rest... A classic!!!
Posted By: Puddintain - 07/30/2008 - 8:48 PM EST
One of his best novels, ever! That's all I can say, really. It's an incredibly detailed novel, and an excellently written one at that!

An interesting story where you ask yourself, if I had these powers, and was confronted by this problem what would I do?
