Desperation Formats: Hardcover/Paperback/TV Movie/DVD First Edition Release Date: 1996
Synopsis:
Located off a desolate stretch of Interstate 50, Desperation, Nevada has few connections with the rest of the world. It is a place, though, where the seams between worlds are thin. Miners at the China Pit have accidentally broken into another dimension and released a horrific creature known as Tak, who takes human form by hijacking some of the town's residents. The forces of good orchestrate a confrontation between this ancient evil and a group of unsuspecting travelers who are lured to the dying town. This rag-tag band of unwilling champions is led by a young boy who speaks to God.

while reading about stephen kings new book under the dome i came across this... So the question on everyones minds is: Will Under the Dome hold our attention like the early classics, or does it wither and die like Desperation and Insomnia? I thought that desperation was a great book in fact the best book i ever read so it made me kind of mad to read

I just finished this book yesterday and I absolutely loved it! I did have a few minor -- very minor -- problems (I found it difficult to picture more than a few scenes, and I was at times confused), but the book was entertaining from the get-go. That's really what I appreciated about this book; how easy and fast it was to get into it, without sacrificing characterization (unlike "CELL"). And it maintained the appropriate pace throughout. LOVED it.

I got this book earlier in the year, and within minutes, and even the first pages, I was hooked. Read it in 3 days, and have re-read it since then. I love this book, as I love all the other works of Stephen King. This book, though, is one of my all time favorites. Hope that the future works are just as good. Keep up the excellent work, Stephen.
