More King

King's storytelling in this one is so mature; it makes this relentless narrative a dazzling masterpiece. The character analysis (the main factor that keeps me going for King every time he publishes something) is as perfect as ever. This time, we are faced with Edgar Freemantle, an armless man who paints stuff that seems to happen, and a woman on the edge of senility, Elizabeth Eastlake and of course the one character who seems to have come into King's world by mistake; Wireman. I say he came in by mistake because I was never really used to King writing people like Wireman. Wireman is unique in that he has his own...thing. He's not normal in the regular sense but yet...He seems normal. It's this seeming duality of his character that keeps him ever so interesting.

Up till now (yes, I didn't finish it yet), the novel is interesting. On last night's reading, things started to get really interesting (Edgar was having nightmares and stuff; King LOVES symbolizing possible outcomes of the story in dreams). And of course, Wireman is getting more interesting by the minute. In any case, this is an excellent book and I'm hoping I finish fast so that I can start with Blaze (now that seems like one of yer ol' horror King paperbacks!). King does not seem to focus on just the horror nowadays, which is good...It makes the novel rely more on the richness of the character and the lucidity of the plot itself.

I got a GPA of 3.85...And if you're still further interested after reading that sentence, I came third on my class with this semester's result alone. I already said that in the comments on the previous post and it made my head swell a little but what the hell!

Anyhow, you guys take care of yourselves and I'll check in later!

NOTE: For those of you wondering why I finally broke the 'one word title' obsession (And I know you're not many), that's because...I got over it.
