A review by gbweeks
Gwendy's Button Box by Richard Chizmar, Stephen King
3.0
A strange novella. The writing style is very much like The Eyes of the Dragon, where the tone is light and the narrator is really speaking to the reader. And, same as that novel, we get an R.F. figure who is clearly Flagg, though in this case he doesn't seem particularly evil. Finally, the theme is similar to The Institute, with a question about what someone would/should be willing to do in order to avoid larger disasters.
It flows perfectly well, but the ending fell flat for me, and I just didn't quite get the point of the story.
