My main criticism of Stephen King's books is that his characters ultimately don't have souls. King has a great talent for describing an addiction, a fear, a sexual desire, or a physical attribute, but somehow the whole taken together doesn't come alive. Almost, but not quite. Consequently, I'm left with a feeling that his characters exist and were created solely to undergo the horrors and plots that drive his books.

This is true for Eyes of the Dragon as well, but it does not bother me as much. I think the reason is that it takes the form of a fairy tale like Hansel and Gretel or Snow White. In those tales, the characters are not so much people as they are etchings or types. Thus, King can get away with characters who lack human souls.

Eyes of the Dragon is a good tale, and like other King books, makes me want to find out what happens next. But, it suffers from this lack of human feeling which is why I consider it good reading, but not great.

When I firts picked up this book I thought it was going to be so boreing just from the size of it but as always I was wrong. this book was captivating I figured I would read 2 chapters a day but when I started reading this book I just got lost. my mind wondered the descripthions were so vivid. I just could not put it down and before I knew what hit me I was on chapter 50. I think this book is the best book I could understand it perfectly and the twists and turns the story made were captivateing as well I just wanted to say thank you Stephen King for writeing such a magnificent book

At first when I started to read this book I thought it was gonna be a so-so book but I was wrong very wrong. After the first chapter or so I couldn't stop reading the book it was so good! Im 13 and I could understand a lot but not all of the book but I still could tell that it was a good book. I hope Stephen King will make a book that takes place just after the events of this book and make it longer 'cause I finished this book in a week or less so I hope he makes it longer. I hope other children can understand the book and at the same time enjoy the book like I did and like others did too cause like I said before it's a great book great great book!
