** spoiler alert ** You know, I used to have this book rated as a 4- or 5-star book, and marked as one I considered a recommendation for others. I've been re-reading some of the books I thought so much of at a younger age and finding them, well, a bit lacking. This book is no exception. I am struggling to find a justification for using a whole book to tell this thin tale worthy of no more than a fairly interesting short story. Yes, the tale of Prince Peter's supposed murder of his father King Roland (he was framed by the evil magician Flagg) and Peter's subsequent imprisonment and escape, does cover a number of years and actions, but did I not just summarize it in a single sentence? I think that in prior years I was blown away by the idea that Stephen King was writing something that was not a horror novel(!). But that does not take one into the territory of an engaging and noteworthy novel. Sometimes I actually wish that I could step back into the shoes of my younger and less demanding self, who didn't see through boring archetypes such as the rich, fat, indolent king (Henry VIII, anyone?), beautiful queen who is an honorable wife and mother (and therefore must be disposed of), all-evil-with-no-redeeming-qualities-villain Flagg, honorable first son and prince, and jealous, and evil-but-only-in-a-boyish-way-and-not-enough-to-make-you-hate-him younger royal brother. Snore.
