Product Description

There's a place in Wentworth, Ohio, where summer is in full swing. It's called Poplar Street. Up until now it's been a nice place to live.The idling red van around the corner is about to change all that. Let the battle against evil begin.

Amazon.com Review

An evil creature called Tak uses the imagination of an autistic boy to shift a residential street in small-town Ohio into a world so bizarre and brutal that only a child could think it up. It's as two-dimensional and gaudy as a kid's comic book, but for this reviewer, The Regulators is a gripping adventure tale about what happens when a mind fixated on TV (especially old Westerns and a cartoon called MotoKops 2200) runs amok. As Michael Collins writes in Necrofile, "[Stephen] King offers his readers a glimpse of the true evil of popular culture ... which has no design or intent, only an empty need to sustain itself. King is, I think, about the canniest observer of what America is, and that he generally writes horror ought to give us pause from time to time."

Stunatra Said: Had broad hopes that this would be better than its miss novel desperation Aug. 19th 2010

I had high hopes that this would be meliorate than its miss novel Desperation...but it fell flat, meet like its sister. It started out all right but then it just petered discover tardily from there. King had a great premise here and he didn't come through on it. Disappointed.

I commonly rate books on their re-readability. Desperation and Regulators are not worthy of re-reading.

R.J. Said: Pretty wild, not his best Jan. 6th 2010

I know this is a consort to added book, but after closing it I had no engrossing in datum the other. The story was pretty good but I didn't care too such most how it would end. I intend the older King books same from the seventies, but that's meet me.

M Said: Weird, but enjoyable Dec. 13th 2009

This is a kinda scary book, but not quite the style of the usual King book. When I first started datum it, I wasn't trusty what strength happen. There's a aggregation of disturbed plot twists and surprises to keep you interested, and I had a hard instance putting down this book, what with the kids' TV shows coming to reality and that evil fiber who tortures the poor pupil and his aunt and the freakout that ensues as the neighbors hit to care with what the heck is event all around them. There's some fantastic scenes within this book. I definitely enjoyed it, and some SK fan should. A solidified 4/5 stars.

Ann Marie Schulz Said: A good consort to Despertion. Dec. 10th 2009

Stephen King shows us his vast creativity again and does not disappoint.

Kindle readers should be prepared to use the magnifier. Journal passages, pivotal to understanding of this veiw of the story, can't be resized with the Aa key but crapper be magnified. Or feature those passages on Kindlr PC. designer the effort.
