Advantages: Has potential

Disadvantages: Boring, could be expensive- how many parts?

Stephen King is publishing this novel over the net through his site. There will be one part every month for as long as at least 75% of the people who have downloaded the parts will pay a a buck a piece.

Well what can I say I have read the first part which encompasses about 20 pages written in the stlye of letters and memos between a publishing house and a man who wishes to publish a book on the occult and rituals and spells which he claims are based upon his own expierences.

This book does not grab you from the start.Ok so it's the first part but "IT" had me hooked and wanting more from the first few pages. This book is rather boring so Mr. King is going to have to really step up a gear if it is going to be a success and get people aching to pay in order to guarentee the next part will arrive.

It does get slighlty interesting towards the end but I won't give away what happens. King has to abandon the memo letter stlye though as it does not help you to get into the book as you keep stopping between memos.

This may get better and I shall go back to see what the second part is like. I would like to hear other opinions upon this.
