I am a Big Stephen King fan and in my youth he was one of the writers that I read a lot Most of them were scary but also compelling that much if it meant reading his books in bed late at night because I couldn't put them down I would although I would prepare the room before hand checking all areas and when eventually I could read no longer due to my eyes feeling heavy I would give into sleep with the lights on of course lol

Not all his books translate as well on the big screen Ifound IT scary when reading but boring as a film!

I haven't read this book but the production is very much his style sometimes appearing complex in its slow burning delivery but maintaining interest this is no exception As for the acting mostly good however I admit to not particularly likening Dane Dehaans role as the obsessive fan. I felt like he had studied every psycho part played in films adapting all into his role on this show and sadly because of that he comes across to me as overdoing it and not making the role his own which is a great shame !

On the whole if like me you love Stephen King offerings this is certainly worth iinvesting .time in if only to see if your interpretation is near the mark.
