The Dead Zone by Stephen King, A Book Review by Rebecca Moll
Reading Stephen King's, The Dead Zone, after the Presidential election of 2017 has an interesting hue. Body guards roughhousing spectators, an unlikely candidate, a surprising swing in popular opinion, defying logic and history, a rogue and unpredictable future.
I won't draw any other metaphors to today's leaders, other than things are always so much more than they appear, regardless if good or bad.
Maybe we all have a "Dead Zone" where we can't or won't see what should be apparent.
I like the struggle of King's protagonists in The Dead Zone, they have a true-to-life feeling, an honest, yet meritable, resignation that in this world, "we do all we can and it has to be good enough...and if it isnt, it has to do. Nothing is ever lost. Nothing that can't be found."
