Sztorm stulecia: Oryginalny scenariusz by Stephen King

I watched the miniseries as it aired in 1999 and found it to be highly predictable and pretty boring. Since the screenplay is basically identical, that opinion hasn't changed.

True terror from beginning till the end. No hope in this particular book. Can't recommend it to whom I love.
Couldn't tell which was scariest: the storm, the demon or island society's own darkness. Maybe the last.
There's a typical for Stephen King juxtaposition of good guy sheriff (local policeman) vs asshole politician (the mayor).
And taste of great bitterness at the end of the novel.

The only thing I would add, would be that the end plot twist is somewhat predictable, as are a lot of the characters actions, but other than than it is an amazing book.

Full disclosure: I saw the mini series years ago and hated it. I only bought this when I saw the 10 page introduction. King discusses the process of writing this story and getting it made, which was fairly interesting during the writing bits, not so much for the other part. Also, I'll admit, if it has King's name on it and I've read the book or seen the show/movie, I'll probably pick it up just to own a copy. Even if I didn't like it. But I cannot, in good faith, give this more than 3 stars.
