Title:The Eyes of the Dragon Author: Stephen King Format: Mass Market |
When I was twelve, my mom took me to a small independent bookstore for my birthday. She said that I could pick out any one book that I wanted. My mom has never really censored my brother’s nor my reading material. So I went over and picked up Eyes of the Dragon. I felt so grown up that day. I had my very own King novel. I have read that first little mass market into its grave, and had to buy a second copy. This is King’s attempt at fantasy, and I think a pretty good one. Very few authors can break out of their genre. King went for a stroll out of his then came back to horror. While this novel is written in a very classic Stephen King type of voice, it is much different from anything else he has ever written. It is the story of a kingdom, two princes, a evil magician, and murder most foul. I would suggest this to anyone who is firmly stuck in either the mystery or the science fiction genre as an introduction to King’s works. I would also recommend this as a teen’s first King, as it is much milder then any of his other works.
