Revival


During the Math Olympiad I read Stephen King's Revival.  It is fantastically crafted.  The characters come alive; the plot is tight as a drum.  The mystery and foreshadow draw you in.  The language is just wonderful.  Cool homages to H.P. Lovecraft and others.

I really dislike the horror genre but Stephen King is a great writer.  The occult crap during the story is easily ignored; but the climax and "big reveal" at the end was silly and pushed me out of the story. Even so I give it 4/5 stars and highly recommend it.
