I finished Steven Kings "Dreamcatcher" In 2 days, I cannot even attempt to explain it, but i am telling u, read this book and it will change the way u think of things forever.

It was a good book and a typical Stephen King epic, but it certainly was nothing more (to me at least) than good entertainment. There certainly was nothing life changing. It was about aliens, government conspiracy and the bonds of friendship.
