The book that I read was The Eyes of the Dragon. The author was Stephen King. Itwas published in 1987. Stephen King grew up in Maine and has lived most of hisadult life there, both in Bangor and in the Portland area. He and his wife,Tabitha, have three children, Naomi, Joe, and Owen Philip.
This story took placein the fairy tale times with Kings and Dragons. The kings name was Roland. Hewas a good king. He had two sons.
Peter, the first son, was good at every thingand his father and every one else loved him. Thomas was just a reject. He had nofriends and his Father didn’t even care for him. Flagg was the Magician.
Flaggwas trying to manipulate the kingdom so that he could end up in control andafter 5000 years his chance had finally come. He killed Roland and framed Peterso that he would have to go to jail for life. Thomas was then king and Flagg washis friend and teacher. Flagg taxed the town and beheaded people for anythingthat they did. The title of the book came from the passage that Flagg had shownThomas that lead to the head of a Dragon head that was hanging in his fathersroom. He saw Flagg poison his father and he was to scared to tell anyone.
Anyway, Peter excapes and kills Flagg. Thomas was just a followed of any one whowould be his friend. He was stupid and he never expected to be king so he didn’tpay attention in class. Peter was the perfect son. He won all of the castlecompetitions. Every body in the entire kingdom loved him.
Flagg was just plainevil. Every thing he did, he did for the good of evil. He finally got his waywith the world and he took complete advantage of it. Stephen Kings style is tokeep the reader from knowing to much and in some places in the book it gets veryboring and then every thing starts to pick up.
I like his style because it readsvery quickly and is very entertaining. I think that this is one of the betterbooks that I have ever read. I would recommend it to any one who has a brain intheir head.English Essays
