Rate: 5/5
A book that puts the reader in the perspective when the world is demolished. It takes the plot to an extent on what people would do and how they would choose to survive those times. I learned that it is all in the choices that the characters in the book made. Some worked hard to get the world back together by putting the electricity back on, talk about how the government messed up and have tea parties. Some chose to create weapons and bombs instead. It seems like life is a just a constant war between good and evil even if we put ourselves back into reality after reading the book. Not in the same context, but similar concept. Instead of good and evil described in the book as a showdown between weapons and destruction, in today's society it has to do with corporations, politics, poverty and war between countries. Either way, we can see the breed of envy, greed, hate gives us the thought of power. A power that people tend to do whatever they wish to do with it and mostly misuse it by underestimating all the factors. Stephen King takes it to the worst extent of how bad things could turn out in the future. Once we see that we are in shit, we tend to start questioning how things happened, why they happen, what the causes were and try to fix it. Overall, it was a
very fun read filled with suspense, excitement, action and a little humor.
