Probably my least favorite Stephen King book. I found the book far too political in it's opinions which made the true evil in the world an actual political party from the U.S. That is far too real for a Stephen King Fantasy. Nevertheless, I decided to watch the television adaptation because it was a Stephen King franchise. Even with not liking the book, I have liked the series even less. No, it is not political, but, besides, that, it has very little to do with the book at all. Stephen King's characterization are missing, these characters which are typically vibrant in his books are lacking in the T.V. drama. I do not blame the actors, but rather the script which appears lethargic at best. King is executive producer on the series, but that, as we know, is an honorary title used so he can rake in the dollars. So that makes this series an exploitation of his constant readers. CBS is a money hungry exploitative network and I would love to see King return to ABC where, at least, his work has been treated with some dignity and the same, his fans.
