A review by rennegade
Revival by Stephen King
3.0
I'm a little sad that this was only a 3-star read for me. I was pumped to read a book that has been touted for the Lovecraft and Shelley references. Also, I tend to enjoy books that look at the man behind the curtain with regards to religion.
The book meandered for a significant portion. I was getting long descriptions of a lived childhood before anything super interesting happened. I really appreciate King's genius, seen here as he masterfully circled back to every single seemingly insignificant scene.
That said, the journey to get there was a bit of a slog at times. I am going to sit with the book a bit longer and may possibly bump it up a star, but for now it will sit at 3.
