How about a section on reviews? 198.96.2.93 (talk) 15:22, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

released 8 Nov 2011, and we should have meaningful reviews already? I guess some got advance copies: http://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/books/stephen-kings-112263/2011/10/27/gIQARCxmaM_story.html but I expect it will take time for a proper review section.

I think it's fair to change the critical reception to a little better than "mixed" - the section has only one outright negative review, and the novel has received a warm reception on Amazon (currently averaging a strong 4.5 star rating) and elsewhere.

Addendum: Here's a link to Metacritic's page for the book, which shows overwhelmingly green "liked it" reviews (not "mixed"). Janors (talk) 22:34, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Out of about a dozen reviews for this book that I have read, only one was outright negative, the Guardian's. I'd say the reviews have been mostly positive. Jmj713 (talk) 03:41, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Change from "mixed" seems appropriate after new crop of reviews. However, Metacritic site still needs ownership notation as this is a conflict of interest on a Scribner publication. Ofazomi —Preceding undated comment added 21:38, 1 December 2011 (UTC).[reply]

I don't think it's relevant at all, unless we can find a wealth of negative reviews that disagree with the Metacritic selection. Janors (talk) 01:29, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It says above that this novel falls within the scope of the horror project. However, unlike other Stephen King novels, this is not a horror novel at all!
