Summary: A Good Read
Comment: The novel The Eyes of the Dragon by Stephen King is a very imaginative and descriptive novel. Unlike most of Stephen King's novels, which are usually chilling and gruesome, this novel contains very little gore (which is a good thing for those of us with weak stomachs). King, who is notorious for his shocking and grisly images in his horror novels, uses the same precise and intricate detail skills that he has mastered in that group in a more light-hearted and lively story. This story's genre truly shows you the range of genre that King can successfully write. Although the plot is simple and predictable, the descriptions in the book make up for the dreary, lax plotline. Not that the plot doesn't have its creative moments. One such event that stood out in my mind was when Peter used the dollhouse's sewing machine to create a rope to escape from the prison tower with. I know it sounds a bit too much like something from a Boy Scout's handbook, but King's description is as precise and powerful as the tedious work Peter put into the surprisingly strong rope itself. King also takes flat, stock characters and breathes new life into them with his rich character and rewarding details. Flagg, the evil magician who plots to eventually rule the kingdom, seems to be your usual fantasy novel villain, until King vividly explains to you Flagg's age, wisdom, motivation, and the extent to which Flagg goes to just so that his plan will work flawlessly. It is these kinds of descriptions of people, events, and places that make this novel such a satisfying read.

Summary: Storytelling at its best
Comment: I've had this book sitting on a shelf for years. I put off reading it because I was scared of not liking one of King's books because it seemed so radically different from most of his stuff. I'm happy I finally picked it up.
Stephen King's foray into the world of fantasy was indeed different from the rest of his books. It was a shorter and much faster read than most of his works. It is a simple story, really: Mischief and murder put the wrong prince on the throne in the kingdom of Delain due to the meddling of an ancient magician known only as Flagg. But King is a master of character and plot development, and though he tells you in most places exactly what to expect, it still feels almost surprising to read it.
For more reading incentive, The Eyes of the Dragon is the back story to events in the Dark Tower series, though we've yet to see these events unfold.

Summary: This is a Great Book
Comment: So far, this is my favorite Stephen King book to date. Once I started reading this book I found myself unable put it down.
The story is pretty short compared to King's other Novels, but it moves very fast, and is very interesting. Not one boring part in the entire book!!!
Basicly the story starts out with a King and his Queen, they have 2 sons, one is named Peter and the other Thomas. Peter is just like his mother, a wise, intelegent boy. Thomas is like his father, the total opposite of Peter, very insecure, and a lush.
Then there is the king's magician, an evil man who's name is Flagg, who has been around for many years, too many years. (dont want to spoil)
The king is murdered, and who is to blame?
Thus starts the great adventure that awaits. The book moves quickly and the action is fast. I finished the book in 3 days. There is not any rambling on and on in this one, (which is seen in many of Stephen King's Novels) it's strait to the point!! This is just a wonderful tale, seen through the eyes of the dragon.
