This book is, in my opinion, written for people ages fourteen to twenty. Although the vocabulary is somewhat confusing at times, it is not a difficult story to read. If you can get past the vocabulary, the plot is not difficult to follow.

The best thing about The Dark Half, in my opinion, is how Stephen King made an unbelievable thing seem reasonable. He made it so that Alan Pangborn, the main authority figure in the story, did not immediately believe Thad Beaumont, the main character of the novel (a writer in the story). Even after there was good evidence that a supernatural thing was happening to Thad, Pangborn did not believe him, because that is what a real person would do. They would be skeptical until they witnessed something themselves. Finally, he began to believe, but not until about three-quarters of the way through. Even then, he wasn't sure. Other similar things happened too. George Stark, the "villain" of the s

The action in this novel was good, but sparse. One of the best action displays was near the end of the story when Beaumont had to lose his police tail so that he could meet with Stark, who had kidnapped his family. Thad edged up to an intersection with a milk truck on his right. Right after he went through the intersection, the milk truck turned left, cutting off the police behind him. "The moment the milk truck blotted out the dark brown Plymouth in his rearview mirror, Thad tromped the Suburban's gas pedal to the floor. There was a right turn half a block up. Thad took it at forty, roaring up a short street while praying a little kid wouldn't rush out onto the street chasing after a ball." This continued on only getting more and more intense, until he got to a friend's house and borrowed his car. This section of the book just happened to catch my eye; there were more action scenes in the book that were just as good or better, but they are mostly at the very end and I don't want to give it away.

tory, was Thad's penname come to life. Stephen King made that seem possible with his explanation that Thad had a brain tumor when he was a child. It was not, however, a normal brain tumor. The doctor removed an eye, some teeth, some fingernails, and parts of a nose. These pieces were what George Stark was. When Thad Beaumont stopped writing novels under the name George Stark, Something happened to the pieces and they began to grow into a person.

The part of the story that could have been better was the fact that it is exactly like every other book by him. In my opinion it is too regular. A psychopath cha
