Four stars

What is it about:

Now available for the first time in a mass market premium edition—master storyteller Stephen King presents the classic, terrifying New York Times bestseller of those caught between the surreal forces of good versus evil in a small suburban town.

“The red van rolls past…humming and glinting.…Things are happening fast now, although no one on Poplar Street realizes it yet.”

It’s a gorgeous midsummer afternoon along Poplar Street in the peaceful suburbia of Wentwort, Ohio, where life is as pleasant as you ever dreamed it could be. But that’s all about to end in blaze of gunfire and sudden violence, forever shattering the tranquility and the good times here. For the physical makeup of Poplar Street itself is now being transformed into a surreal landscape straight out of the active imagination of the innocent and vulnerable Seth Garin—an autistic boy who’s been exposed to and possessed by a horrific, otherworldly force of evil, one with sadistic and murderous intent and who is willing to use whatever means necessary to grow ever stronger

This was my first time reading The Regulators ,while I did like it and enjoy reading it unfortunately it'll never be one of my all time favorites or a favorite one of my,it's one of those that I will every once in awhile pick up and read, unlike Desperation which is one of my all time favorites to read over and over again , it does let you know what happens after Desperation ends and you see and.meet all new characters who has to face Tak. If you ever read Desperation then you might want to check this one out.
