Once upon a time, in the haunted city of Derry (site of the classics It and Insomnia), four boys stood together and did a brave thing. Certainly a good thing, perhaps even a great thing. Something that changed them in ways they could never begin to understand.

Twenty-five years later, the boys are now men with separate lives and separate troubles. But the ties endure. Each hunting season the foursome reunite in the woods of Maine. This year, a stranger stumbles into their camp, disoriented, mumbling something about lights in the sky. His incoherent ravings prove to be dis-turbingly prescient. Before long, these men will be plunged into a horrifying struggle with a creature from another world. Their only chance of survival is locked in their shared past -- and in the Dreamcatcher.

Stephen King's first full-length novel since Bag of Bones is, more than anything, a story of how men remember, and how they find their courage. Not since The Stand has King crafted a story of such astonishing range -- and never before has he contended so frankly with the heart of darkness.

My first Stephen King Read

This was the first book by Stephen King I have ever read. Infact it was the first book over 300 pages that made me want to continue reading still. This book managed to keep my attention glued from page 1 and what a joy it is to read this book. I looved reading this book, and if you don't know which book to buy this is a good choice!



stephen king's "dreamcatcher"

i am told there is a movie out there based on this book and i am told it is not very good, with that said i must say this is an excellent book ( of course, it's stephen king!) with a very intricate storyline. i can't imagine it ever making it onto the "big screen"; multi-layered characters, perspectives and time-lines - way too much to try and put into a visual story. the mind is the ultimate movie screen in this instance. great read.

Good alien book

I got this book because it was cheap, being sold on Amazon as a bargain discount book. I enjoyed the story, and it got emotional for what happens at the end. Sad, but I guess that's the point. The character development and action and horror scenes are awesome. Another winner from King!



Dont like King, but I like this one!!

Dreamcatcher had one of the goriest scenes in the world of liturature. The thought of an alien biting its way out of someone's rectum is just sickening, and strangely appealing.
I really enjoyed the book but like with so many novels of this size, the ending almost always lacks from the rest of the book. Ive seen this happen many times, even to the best of authors: Dean Koontz, John Saul, James Patterson.
After a drawn out ending that could have been 150 pages less than what it was, my interest level drudged down a bit, but I still enjoyed the book very much. Otherwise it would have been five stars.

a minor King work

I have to say, King's epilogue was pretty cheesy (sorry, am I a fan though). To learn that "Mr. Gray" wasn't really "Mr. Gray" after 600 pages (I'm referring to the hardcover - I'm sure in paperback it's close to 1,000 pages); that it was simply Jonesy reacting with Duddits' Dreamcatcher abilities...I don't know - it seemed like a quick way to end things. The meat of the book though; the individual scenes of Kurtz or Jonesy w/ then "Mr. Gray", Duddits, Henry, etc. were very well put together.
