Book Review: "Insomnia" by Stephen King

So I know how lame am I because I just read Stephen King's Insomnia 3 days ago considering how awesome the book was and also the writer (Stephen King has been officially titled as the king of horror novels and still, nobody could beat him). My mom picked the book from the library of a  hotel she worked in and she said she chose the book because the title was pretty attractive, and the inside of the book was so freaking AWESOME.
The book mostly seen in the perspective of 70-year-old Ralph Roberts who suffered insomnia since his wife, Carolyn, died of cancer. Even his best friend, Bill McGovern, and his supposedly crush, Lois Chasse, couldn't help him through it. Ralph realized that he should probably go to his doctor, dr. Litchfield, but after he remembered how dr. Lichfield failed to diagnose Carolyn's tumor soon, Ralph had a personal hatred towards him and refused to go to him.
After Carolyn's death, Ralph also noticed something went wrong with his nice neighbor, Edward "Ed" Deepneau who went psychotic and beat his wife, Helen, brutally. He was a member of an organization that held a protest towards WomanCare who held an abortion program.
One day, Ralph went to a drugstore to buy some sleeping pills when he met Joe Wyzer who had a lot of experience with insomnia. He said people who suffered insomnia would experience something called "Hyper-reality". When Ralph began to see weird colored auras from people and some kind of balloon rope above their heads, also 3 little bald doctors who looked like dolls in front of his neighbor's house in 3 in the morning, Ralph believed it was the Hyper-reality, although it wasn't and Ralph realized he was a part of a plan that put 2.000 lives at stake.
Overall, this book was pretty much amazing. Even though there were no scary ghosts who floated around, the detail description of the evil third bald doctor, Atropos, gave pretty much goosebumps in night. The storyline was nice, the ending was unpredictably sad and epic at the same time, and the characters (protagonists and antagonists) were described with such details so the readers won't find it hard to imagine. This book was nominated for the Bram Stoker's Award but it didn't win, surprisingly. If it was made into a movie it'd be a pretty good movie, like Carrie. Although, to make a movie out of this book would require a nice special effects or it'll turn out as if it's a cheap movie like Bag of Bones.
If you're looking for a good horror read that have a quality elements in it, trust me, buy this book. Even though I finished it in 2 weeks (normally I'd finish 500 pages of novels in 4 days) because of my exam and several parts of the book aren't so clear so I gotta read it twice, it's a nice holiday friend.
