Product Description
Ralph Roberts hasn't been sleeping well lately. Every morning he wakes just a little bit earlier until pretty soon, he isn't sleeping at all. It wouldn't be so bad if not for the strange hallucinations--and the nightmares that keep coming to life.

Somewhat of a letdown by Doug Birtell (pa)

Insomnia is far from king's best work. It's a huge book that takes alot of revving before the engine kicks over and has alot of confusing happenings at many stages in the book. I do like the ending and how it all comes together in the final chapters but other then that i can't think of anymore positive things to point out. I guess i just didn't really find the story all that interesting. I wouldn't reccomend new fans start with this one.

Not the best SK book I've ever read... by L. DeGrange (Ohio)

I've been reading Stephen King since I was a young teenager and I have to say this was the least favorite book of his I have ever read. While the plot itself was good (I'm not going rehash it - you can read all about plot in other reviews), there was just way too much detail for everything. It made parts of the book totally boring and unnecessary and there were times I honestly debated just putting the book down and not finishing it. I found myself wishing for the ending to just come already. I have never felt that way about any of his other books. If you're a first time SK reader skip this one and start with IT.

This is one of my favorite books of all time, I have probably read it five times. The story line is very easy to follow. It's about a man turned insomniac after his wife dies that starts seeing things, these things turn out to be wonderful real life visions that the rest of us just can't see. I recommend this book even if you are not a Stephen King fan.

All kinds of fun. A wonderful, long strange trip. Worth the investment of time (approx 24 hours).

I have read a lot of Stephen King's books. The Stand being one of my favourites, I am not averse to reading hundreds of pages. But those pages should mean something. There are bad writers with good stories, and good writers with bad ones, but in this disaster, the writing and the story are both horrendous. Stephen King is a good writer, but when he repeats a single line over 50 times ("long road to Eden", "done bun can't be undone") during the course of the book, it begins to grate on your nerves. Also character development is one of King's strongest suits. I believe his ability to richly define believable yet amazingly interesting characters, is one of the reasons for his success. But in this case, the characters are simply annoying. They are more spectators than participants in this Novella. Oh they have thoughts, and lots of them friends and neighbours, but it's the action they are lacking. Ralph Roberts is the only man I know who doubts everything he thinks, and I mean everything. He has the ability to imagine every possible outcome of any scenario, and Stephen King makes us read every one of them. And Louis, "Our Louis"..."Oh Ralph....Oh Ralph...let's fight, we must save people...", "Oh Ralph...Oh Ralph...Let's get out of here....I am too scared....", "Oh Ralph...". WTF. If King thinks, that old people are so indecisive, weak, annoying and uninteresting, then he is an ageist. To prospective readers: Please do not judge King by this book alone. He is very gifted. Please read "The Stand", "It", "Dead Zone"...and any other book but this one.
