I just finished Revival a couple of days ago, hot on the heels of Doctor Sleep. I really enjoyed the old-school feel of this novel. Not my favorite SK novel, but a solid entry into King's library and a very enjoyable read.
I loved the Charles Jacobs character. To see him transform from a young bright-eyed minister to a terrifying mix of Howard Hughes/Nikola Tesla/Dr. Frankenstein (and others) was my favorite part of this novel. Mr. King is such a master at developing complex characters.
I greatly enjoyed the third act of the novel. The story took a very dark, twisted turn and I couldn't get enough of it! The grim depiction of the afterlife was nightmarish, to say the least.
Overall, a very entertaining read. The more I think about this novel, the more I like it. This one will definitely stick with me for a while.
Rating: 8/10
Up Next: A short break from SK, as I read Gillian Flynn's Dark Places.
