Book Reviews of Salem's Lot (Signet)
Book Review: Loved it - true classic vampire book. But...
Summary: 4 Stars
Read this for the first time last week - flied through the book wondering what was going to happen. Mr. King [..]into his world from the beginning. Ben and Mark were great characters, as was Straker and Barlow. And that's why I didn't give Salem's Lot 5 stars. I wanted more information on Straker and Barlow, especially Barlow. There were some interesting tidbits of information about him, but just like Mr. King spent a considerable amount of time getting the reader to know the community and its more interesting "townies"...I would have loved a chapter or two on Barlow and Straker. I would have like to have gotten into their heads a bit more. The really interesting thing about this novel is that there is only one vampire involved, and he's not "that" involved in the story. It's everyone else that makes the story engaging. The kid was my favorite character. Great creation.
Overall...highly recommended horror novel - a classic!
