Review- THE MIST


I thought THE MIST was just an average read. I love King, but this is more of the same from him. Creepy thing, could be mist, zombies, vampires, aliens, or whatever else you can name, invades a small town and kills people. I get the fact that this was written during the 80s when nuclear power was more prevalant, and this is King's warning on that subject, but all in all, I think THE MIST missed the mark. I never really got into it. There were a few creepy parts that made me shiver, but that was it. Not even close to being his best. Give me THE STAND or THE DEAD ZONE any day. If you've never read King before, don't start with this one.

They filmed the movie of this in Shreveport, where I live! I haven't seen it though.
