Editorial Review:
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.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Tough to pigeon-hole
I felt compelled to review this book. This is one of my favorite stories of all time, from any author. I don't really understand reviewers who are disappointed because this isn't "typical King." What would typical King be? Those of us who have been lifelong readers of Stephen King understand that there is no typical Stephen King story. He has given us such diverse gems as The Eyes of the Dragon, Christine, The Green Mile, and The Langoliers. For me this book was no harder to get into than The Dark ... Read More
Rating:  - A Portal Novel Among King's Works
This book takes me back. I read it after school for about a week straight following its release, and I remember thinking how it was one of the first times Stephen King really showed us the interconnectedness of his works, something he'd been hinting at for years. "I'm actually only writing one long story in dozens of volumes," King had said on occasion, and Insomnia proved him right. With cross-over's, tie-in's, and references to so many previous King tales, from Pet Sematary and the Gunslinger on, ... Read More
Rating: - In the court of the crimson king
The rusted chains of prison moons is shaterd buy the sun. I walk a road, horizons change the tourment's begun. The purple piper plays his tune, the choir softly sing; Three lullabies in an ancient tongue, for the court of the crimson king. king crimson. Feed your head.
Rating:  - Very good novel, but a mediocre ending.
I read this book in like, 3 days and finished it yesterday. I really like it. Of course it is not one of Stephen King's best, but it is still very good. The main reason I give this four stars instead of five is because of the ending epilogue, "Winding The Deathwatch" in the last 30+ pages. It would have been better if it were not included. I suggest you should read until that point and draw your own conclusions. Anyways, there are way more pros than cons (there are only a few more flaws that I would ... Read More
Rating: - Insomnia is a good thing !
Insomnia's main character, Ralph Roberts, is suffering from increasingly worse bouts of insomnia, and begins to see fantastical things which turn out to be far from imaginary. Ralph's visions end up placing him in the middle of a battle between good and evil in Stephen King's evil-tinged town of Derry, Maine. I found the concepts and characters delightful and was never bored despite the book's daunting 787-page girth. A must read for horror fans and fans of Stephen King.
