diaryofthebookdragon's review against another edition
3.0
With 28 books, Stephen King is most read author on my shelf. Yet, I can't say I am a raging fangirl of his writing. His novels sometimes work for me and sometime they don't. But I keep reading him because you never know how his stories are going to end.
The Eyes of the Dragon is not a typical King's novel. It reminded me more of a tale from some classic fantasy master like Tolkien or Beagle. There is a kingdom in peril, good prince and the evil wizard.
Because of the lack of scary elements and the overall message that good behavior pays back, I think this book would be a good intro into fantasy genre for young readers. As for us with more mature taste, it is too simple and straightforward.
Warning: If you are reading from an ebook, check the version with a preview before paying (if it's possible). There is an early ebook version that is full of errors.

An amazing story and I think it is on of his most under-read books. I absolutely love his take on this King Arthurian genre.
