Interesting, readable, but not all that insightful.
This is an interesting collection of essays on King's early novels--from"Carrie" (1974) through "The Talisman" (1984).It'sgot some interesting things to say about images and structures of thenovels--I particularly enjoyed his comparison between Jack Sawyer in"The Talisman" and Huck Finn.The essays include comments fromboth from interviews with the author and quoted from other sources.ButWinter is really more of a fan than a critic, and his praise tends to be abit too gushing and somewhat less critical than I would hope.A readablebook and interesting if you're into King and horror commentary.But I'mstill waiting for a more insightful commentary on King's work. ...
