Book Description:
Something was happening in Bobbi Anderson's idyllic small town of Haven, Maine. Something that gave every man, woman, and child in town powers far beyond ordinary mortals. Something that turned the town into a death trap for all outsiders. Something that came from a metal object, buried for millennia, that Bobbie accidentally stumbled across. It wasn't that Bobbi and the other good people of Haven had sold their souls to reap the rewards of the most deadly evil this side of hell. It was more like a diabolical takeover..an invasion of body and soul-and mind..

Eerie and riveting. I had to stop reading a few times and surround myself with people because it was so creepy.

An older King novel...good..but drags a few times...not my favorite King novel. Long story... 747 pages...maybe that was my problem with it...too much for me to take in as I read it over time.

A highly detailed and descriptive book. The mini-series on t.v. several years ago did do the book justice. But it's a must read for King fans and for all those interested in otherworldly matters. Scary but thought-provoking too.

Complex, full of intrigue and incredibly satisfying, Tommyknockers is one of Stephen King's best efforts. I've read this book over and over, and each time I find something new to love about it. If you're looking for a book that you can really sink into and lose yourself in, pick up a Stephen King book - the longer the book, the better it is. He does his best work when he writes and writes and writes...

I really enjoyed this book up to the half way point. Then it just became TOO long and TOO dragged out. Don't get me wrong, I love long books, and I respect authors who are willing to commit so much to one story. I just felt the end was detail by detail that I didn't really need to know or care about. One thing I love about Stephen King is his character and backstory development. He really makes the reader care about the characters and get a feel for the story. So even though there was about 300 pages I felt dragged on, I wanted to finish because I really wanted to know what happened at the end. This was just an average King book for me.

One of King's BEST!

Something was happenign in Bobbi Anderson's idyllic small town of Haven, Maine. Something that gave every man, woman, and child in town powers far beyond ordinary mortals. Something that turned the town into a death trap for all outsides. Something that came from across the millennia. This is an early King and one of his best.

Old cover with black, green and yellow. Spine is banged up, but cover still attached and good.
