Brief Synopsis: Jamie Conklin is a kid with a special gift. When he makes the mistake of letting the wrong people know about his "talent," he finds himself mixed up in a messy, dangerous situation.
Thoughts: This is your typical King kid-coming-of-age story and that's not necessarily bad--I mean, some of those King stories are my favorite (IT, The Body). There may not be anything new or unique about this tale, but it's still a fast and entertaining read so who really cares?
Until the end. I'm not sure why King has to keep doing this (or I guess he always did this, I was just too enamored and brainwashed to notice it as a teen reader) but it's like he can't help but add some weird, gross sex thing in. This story absolutely did not need this weird twist and it was such a bummer for me. I keep hoping it will get better...
