This Novel

This book was magical. I absolutely enjoyed it/still enjoying it (I only have 50 pgs to go), but I've had a few issues with it, my biggest being that I didn't like the direction the book took. I'm all for a book about extraterrestrials, but when much of that book is played out in the minds of the characters, it takes away much of the thrills. I also found it harder and harder to believe as it progressed. The characters are what made me love the book, though; they're colorful, alive, and there's such a chemistry there that it's hard to describe. Duddits is one of the most likeable characters ever created. Everytime he's in a scene I can't help but smile. An good book, but I'd recommend it with caution.

SSDD! ... This is one of King's that I'm not so sure of my opinion... Extraterrestrial invasion feels so cliche by now... But King still brings plenty of fresh ideas and for that I praise him. I must say though all the references to sci-fi movies seriously were beginning to annoy me... What I love about this book though is there is no other book out there pertaining to alien invasions that is so outlandish and psychological. The parts with the Dreamcatcher were simply amazing.... And the climax was quite good. Mr. Grey is also a very nicely done character. His gradual process of gaining human emotion is simply wonderfully done. And his escapades in Jonesy in search of bacon lead to some humorous and unforgettable moments. I also must add finally that every integral character is excellently portrayed. Over time you feel as if they are your own friends! Good book, quite entertaining... But definitely not King's best.

nice book... Mr. King will never fail you, he abuses his imagination... this novel is a brain travel... a telepathic thriller.

This is the first Stephen King book I have read so far, with the exception of Carrie. I loved this one, and if this is only considered to be average, I can't wait to read his other works.

I loved it, everything about it. SSDD, Duddits, the ongoing conflict between Mr Gray and Jonesy... One of my favourite novels

It took me a while to really get into this book, and I don't think it's SK's best. Still, towards the end I really enjoyed it. The connections to IT were pretty good too, so if you enjoyed that book, you might want to read Dreamcatcher.

hello, everyone! I've read a lot of SK, but in my opinion the Dreamcatcher is average. Part of Duddits is great, but the aliens trip inside the Jonesy to pollute the waterjar and coronel Kurtz - well, I think not very good. But, of course, don't wannabe to critical - SK is really a great writer.

I loved this book. My first Stephen King book was IT and I didnt think it could get any better than that but Dreamcatcher really had me hooked. I loved the conversations between Mr Gray and Jonesy. I want a Duddits!!!

this is the first SK book i've read and it was soooo good!!!I loved it sooo much! It always made me smile when i came to the parts about Duddits and how they all loved him so much.i think it was very touching and a REALLY GOOD book!! I've seen some of his (SK) movies when i was young but i never reall understood them or knew that they were books(cuz i was young) then i stumbled on to this one and immediatly fell in love with SK's books. My fav author ever!!

This is my all- time favorite novel. I could hardly put it down. Also, the morals questioned in it... genius.

I'm sorry...I enjoy a good Stephen King book just like the rest of you..but this book just cracked me up!!All the burping and farting..I felt like Mr. King was revisiting his teenage sense of humor on this one!! THEN..came the butt monster???? I truly call this the butt monster book! My 4 kids think I'm crazy..(Okay maybe I am a little!) I have had the book for years laying around and my 14yr old wants to read it. I laughed and said...you want to read the butt monster book?? Go ahead!! I had to see the movie!!! I just needed to know how the monster was going to look!!! Anyway Good story in the end..Get it...in the end!!!!

Amazing. It normally takes me awhile to read books, but i couldnt put this one down.

This is one of King's best novels. Dreamcatcher has a little something for everyone, aliens, psychic powers, and longtime friends.

Me and my daughters have always had a liking to the nice dreamcatchers we would see made by people in local fairs, flea markets etc. They look nice and are Indian culture product of warding off bad dreams and letting the good ones filter through.. This is another strong story by Mr King that everyone who reads will pull for a unique hero. An excellent book.
