Stephen King Gets Away with Breaking Rules in The Eyes of the Dragon (Spoilers)

#sandysaysread #bookreview #dragon
For the next book in our #DragonReadingChallenge, we have “The Eyes of the Dragon” by Stephen King from 1987. This review-and-discussion includes spoilers (because it was released over 30 years ago) and my gushing excitement over the story and characters. I enjoyed the story greatly, although we will go into some of the bits that took me out of the story because this is a discussion.
If y’all get nothing else out of this review, let me remind you of this: Demons are bad. If your bad guy is a demon, that’s why he’s bad.

BTW: I realized after recording that I gave you the “end” of the spider info-dump example around the 12:45 mark and could’ve given you a hundred other examples of info-dumping that were better. Sorry about that.
Also: I’ve fixed the wiring in the “studio,” but the internet gave me a problem around the 52-minute mark. It clears up pretty quickly. Sorry about that, too. The point I’m making there is Flagg went after Thomas and manipulated that kid at every turn.

Very Good report and dissemination of this work by the Great Stephen King!! Here in Argentina the Hard Rock band "Rata Blanca" dedicated a song to the book in 1991.
